Is it normal that talking to certain people makes me feel bad about myself?

I don't know what it is but there are just certain people that I hate talking to because they make me feel shitty about myself. It's not that I feel like they're superior to me or anything but certain people just seem to have a unique talent at making me feel like a total dick.

Back when I used to have problems with my dad he used to be one of those people. It seemed like every time I said something to him he would talk back in a tone that said "please just shut up". I have a teacher like that right now. Every time I'm done talking to him I feel like a total asshole even though I haven't done anything wrong. It's like a condescension that's subtle enough to make you feel like an idiot but at the same time not really noticeable. Very few people make me feel like this but having a teacher that makes me feel like an asshole all the time really sucks.

    Me too, I know how you feel. There's this guy who's taller and better built than me but he's one of my friends that I met through playing sports. Whenever I talk to him, I feel so shitty that I tend to avoid him anyway possible when I see him. I even feel as if he's better looking and smarter, makes me feel shitty

    LOL! My favortie is when you're having a nice conversation and you're tyring to add one more thing in when they turn around and walk away...at that point you're yelling across the room, talking to yourself trying to get that last joke or comment in. They either don't hear you or the turn a little bit without looking at your and give you the 'yeah okay' eyebrow raise with the half assed smile. Then you sit there and sigh to yourself thinking..."Whatever." Akward.

    Normal. What makes it worse is that something like that is so subtle that everyone that talks to them may feel that way but since it can't be easily pointed out, no one says anything.

    Generally, when I talk to people who have had wholesome childhoods and quite simply ain't done half the shit my redneck ass has done, I just feel like I could only taint their presence.

    I have someone who makes me feel pretty bad about myself as well. Weirdly, though, she's probably the person who tries to be the nicest. But it's so fake that anything nice she says to me makes me feel bad about myself.
