[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's only condescending if it's condescending. Not because an adult said it to another adult.[/quote] +1 I think it's situationally dependent, but if it read as condescending to OP (who actually knows the people involved and the situation), there's a good chance it was. But since one friend said it to another friend, I also chalk this up to "none of your business." I had a friend once who was super condescending in this exact manner. She treated everyone in our friend group like a child who needed her approval. When she said "I'm proud of you." what she meant was "I'm so glad you are finally doing what I've been telling you to do all along." I hated it, but I learned that not everyone did. A lot of people in that group liked that dynamic and didn't mind that this woman was being condescending. So now I'm not friends with them and I'm sure she's still condescending to the others, but hey, that's their problem.[/quote]
