The Therapy Thread

[trolls' bane]

I need one of my own. Where to go if you're in need of a psychoanylist and don't know any real ones.

I'll start...

Now, as many of you know, I don't get offended easily. In fact, I don't get offended by things said about me much at all... For example:
Kid: You are a stupid moron son of a motherless goat!
Me: Ok... *grins knowingly*
On the other hand, I get really defensive on things that shouldn't bug me, even hostile. For example:
Example 1:
Person A: So, you like science?
Me *secretly annoyed yet well controlled*: Physics, actually.

Example 2:
Person B: I am the aviator. I shall destroy!
Me: Burn eternally in a microwave oven!

Example 3:
My Dad: So, does jet lag have something to do with time dilation?
Me *secretly in a rage*: No! Why would you say something like that!?

Please note that these are real examples, though the characters depicted in them may be fictional.

Now, I can't understand why anyone would get upset for referring to Physics as "science in general", but I do. And it really gets under my skin when people try to ask me a bunch of nonsensical, dumb questions that nobody could answer just to prove that I don't know everything when I willingly would admit that I don't. I especially hate it when I'm talking about physics and some gangstuh kid asks "Where do babies come from?" That question makes me want to douse them in kerosene and set them on fire. It's also very annoying when people say, "So, you like classical music?", to which I think "Yeah, and you should too." (I usually reply: yes.)

Any ideas why things that shouldn't even phase me get under my skin so easily while outright insults (like the kid who called me a Nazi, as well as the rest who say I'm racist....oh well, even if I was at least I wasn't a useless, mindnumb hedonistic clod like those who say that about me) amuse me at their futile attempts to get me angry via insult?

EDIT: I think part of the problem is that I don't tolerate ignorance from people who think that they're cool enough to be ignorant. It bugs me that people would rather spraypaint a building than write a book, etcetera.
