This is why I always try to assume positive intent. It’s very difficult to say “Yes, I got into Harvard” without seeming condescending.



I’m with you, HGFM. I wonder if some people are very sensitive and perceive slights when none were intended. It’s very difficult to say “Yes, I got into Harvard” without seeming TO THEM to be condescending. But if a kid is going to Harvard, it is just a fact–why can’t he or she just say it without people making all sorts of assumptions, often based on their own insecurities?
