He's also a perfectionist and whenever I dont know something, he tries to enlighten me but he does it like in an impatient way that makes me feel like hes looking down on me. It would be different if he tried helping me in a more patient and open way without being intimidating and offensive.
Well maybe that is something to consider. I didn't think that was a possibility. He might be intimidated by me knowing so much of a certain subject and he acts like whatever about it because he doesn't want to come off as clueless. But since he is open about liking to learn now things, shouldn't he be open about learning whatever I know? not shrug it off.
The best thing that can happen is if he appreciates me for who I am without me trying to be better for him. He does make me want to be a better person in a positive way but it has taken a toll on my self-esteem unfortunately.
IIN to legitimately feel not good enough for someone?
