I'm wondering if this is an INTP thing:
It always has bothered me when most people talk differently to old people and children than they would to anyone else. How can I describe this... they tend to talk in a higher pitched voice and talk to them like they are babies. They aren't being mean, quite the opposite, it is like they are trying to be "extra nice" (honestly I have no idea what is going through their minds).
Personally I can't stand this and feel awkward when I'm around and someone does this. I talk to children and old people in the same tone I would use for someone my own age. It's a tone of respect, regardless of what point that person is in his or her life.
Just wondering if any INTP's can relate and know exactly what I'm talking about...
