How to use "Patronising" in context?
When we talk about "patronising", we often think about someone who is condescending and seems to think they know better than the person they are talking to. This behaviour can come across as arrogant and disrespectful, and can be really off-putting.
Patronising behaviour can be easy to fall into, and sometimes we may not even realise we are doing it. For example, may might adopt a lecturing tone when speaking to someone new, or give them long-winded instructions. Instead of engaging with the person, we are trying to put them at ease - and it comes across as patronising.
