Gotten that too. Anyone that gets really excited about knowledge and wants to share it probably has. Some people don’t see sharing knowledge as a method of social engagement. They see it as you trying to educate them because you think they’re stupid.

In general, or specifically about how I come off like that? Bc when I question how that seems to make them more upset ☹️ like they give that narrow-eyed look and eye-roll and scoff like 'Uh huh okay you know what you're doing'

TLDR: they’re insecure.
