Paradox of the responsible adult

"Paradox of the responsible adult":
advocate or companion says exactly same as patient: former listened to, latter barely acknowledged/too articulate to need help or support.

Suddenly begins to feel like invalidated, ignored, infantilised,or spoken-at by professionals - irrespective of needs, urgency, complexity, education, age, or life experience.

Always the same issue with advocacy and experiencing same 'paradox of the responsible adult', no matter how old or educated.

Adult Lego

can be used to either describe AR-15s or PC builds due to their high modularity.

My friend just bought a bunch of components and put it all together into a PC build, man those things are really like adult lego.
My friend just slapped a upper and lower tougher and put a red dot and 45 degree iron sights on it, building guns is like adult lego.
