Kid Gloves

I often feel as though people treat me with kid gloves, even my family and friends.
Some take the more emotional part, some the more physical (at least when I was younger in K-12 school - say when playing sports).

I also feel like people think I'm slow, or somewhat of a retard. I think it brings animosity in me towards those people. Of course sometimes I like it when people are nicer. For example maybe some professor are more easy on me. Though most aren't which is ok, and probably better.

It feels like there is a line where most people start, and I'm lower on the chart. Meaning, when you meet someone for the first time they start at the same starting point where most people do, and that's how you start judging them. But with me I feel like I'm starting at a lower point where I'm already judged, and so I need to prove more just to get to most peoples' starting point.

I feel unappriceate many times, and taken for granted.

Some of it is just me making too much of it. For example the word "buddy." If one of my friends calls me that it makes me feel like they are looking down at me (and sometimes it feel like they are saying it in tone you would use towards a kid. Maybe I'm just remembering right now how I read text messages which are read in my assumption tone).

I feel people get impressed by me like they would from a little kid because they have preconceived notions as to what I'm capable of. So they get overly impressed with, what I feel is, minor/simple things that I do.
