The term condescending is a qualifying adjective that is normally used to designate the attitude of accepting or assimilating everything that another says or does. The condescending person is one who is receptive and open to the proposals of others and who accepts ideas in order to get closer to those people. In some cases it can mean kindness while in others it can also mean pity depending on the context.
The condescending person is the person who condescends or carries out an act of condescension. As its name says, the idea of condescending supposes that the person carries out an action of putting themselves on the level of the other, trying to empathize with their conflicts and feel honestly and real the pain or suffering that the other feels in order to be able to accompany them. in such a situation. Condescension can be done for pleasure, that is, in situations in which the person who acts as condescending also benefits, but also out of kindness or altruism, in order to make the loved one feel that they are accompanying them and understand them. Thus, condescension has a lot to do with empathy, another very similar feeling.
However, in many cases the idea of condescending can also have a negative aspect that has to do with the idea that he acts out of pity towards the other, which speaks to us of a certain feeling of superiority of the one who carries out condescension towards the one who suffers. In this sense, the phrase "do not be condescending with me" means precisely this, that is, a person who feels that the other is trying to put himself in his place but from an artificial place, from the pity and from the superiority that can characterize at that specific moment or circumstance.
