I don't have to imagine that. I experience it.

In my case it's not astrology though, it's growing up poor. And the folks I meet who didn't grow up that way systematically deny my experiences and perspective as ignorant and stupid (or mentally ill), because poor people are ignorant and stupid in their eyes and they can't ever be anything other than that.

I think my favorite reaction is when I get lectured about how my parents should have never have had me. That's always a trip. Like I'm suppose to go back in time and stop my parents from fucking, to appease some stranger I just met? Shit's wild.
