Do any of you feel people make assumptions about you?

I'm 36 and I have 2 brothers who assume I can use technology on the computer well. My older brother assumes I can i get a job on the computer. Yeah, sure. I can't trouble shoot on the computer. I only know how to type, send emails and use google search. And my other younger brother says I can learn to add data on a tablet be googling it. Wow. My 2 brothers are the assumptions twins. They both assume I'm good with technology. I've heard the expression underestimate but what my brothers do is overestimate my limitations. Do i have a right to be mad at both of them?

Anger is a feeling, and it can arise with or without good reasons. However, it is not good to hold onto it, as it interferes with so much else. People almost always assume that other people are like themselves, and I don't think anyone gets to the ability to accurately imagine much of a range. Walter Chrysler was famous for maintaining that there was only one right way to do any job, even though various people would most easily notice errors by sight, sound, or touch. People even count differently, which is revealed by which other things they can or cannot do simultaneously.
