First, the older generation is overly narcissistic. Narcissism is a kind of psychology that everyone has. Moderately healthy narcissism is beneficial to our physical and mental health. But excessive narcissism can lead to overestimation of self-worth. I always feel that I am better than others in everything and have a strong sense of superiority.

In the eyes of such a person, it is easy to find that others are inferior to him, and no one is inferior to him. Because of excessive narcissism, they like to expose their sense of superiority when talking to others, and they like to compete with others in words to show their Excellence and uniqueness.

The second kind of older generation is control psychology. People who like to educate others actually reveal a desire for control in their relationships. Like to educate others to listen to him and obey his views and opinions is actually equivalent to personal identification and obedience to him. This kind of psychology is more easily reflected in intimate relationships.

For example, in love or marriage, men like to make women obey. In the family, parents always want their children to listen to them. The banner they play is "I am good for you", and the tools they use are to educate, persuade and control each other with their own views, so as to achieve the purpose of making each other obey.

The third kind of older generation is inferiority complex. Such people have a low sense of self-worth and inferiority complex. If they want to be recognized by others and feel satisfied with their own value, they will take some ways to prove themselves to others, and love to educate others is one of them.

When educating others, prove your value through others' recognition or compromise of his views, and gain your strong and excellent self-recognition, so as to cover up the anxiety caused by your inner inferiority and achieve psychological balance. In fact, it is also a self-defense mechanism at work. Educating others is a kind of protection for one's inferiority.
