I can relate. Contract job I had few years ago, boss dude, without me ever mentioning family, declared that I grew up poor, abused (why is it that I STILL can't hide this?), and started making all sorts of judgments about me, proselytizing, criticizing food choices I ate, saying I was making choices like a poor person... He was born rich. Job didn't last long. For a number of years, I would make up stories about where I came from, like I was hatched, parents were spies masquerading as world class tennis players, and the like. Somehow that would make the conversation just as awkward as when I'd tell the truth. Some people just don't appreciate creativity. =)
