That’s actually one of my seminal Losery experiences — excelling at something, even, say, beating your dad at it, and the silence is utterly DEAFENING. Most palpable look of disappointment I ever saw in his eyes. Total silence.
Meanwhile if I’m mediocre at something he knows exists, holy shit, Jesus christ*. ‘Nuff said.
Fortunately I can be Bad at things that he doesn’t know exist, and he never had any idea what’s going on and thus couldn’t Pile On. Like you can fail at Engineering or something and people who don’t know what Engineering is won’t give you a hard time.
