What does it mean when someone says "Don't patronize me"?
Is it similar to saying "Don't insult me"?
They can be similar in the sense that both phrases can indicate that the speaker feels they are being treated poorly. However, "Don't patronize me" refers specifically to feeling like someone is talking down to you, while "Don't insult me" can refer to a broader range of disrespectful behavior.
