Anyone else have parents that just make little inane insults as they are talking to you?

Can relate. I once sold a painting for 500 bucks online and my dad told me that being able to sell my work was an “interesting experiment”. Another time, I told him how I received awards at work for a project I worked on individually that received a ton of praise and impacted my entire organization and he told me nothing I could have done would be considered “groundbreaking”. My mother also told me I’d “look like a clown” after asking me to show her what makeup I was considering for my wedding despite it being extremely neutral. They also like to tell people I’m a psychopath and will inform anyone and everyone who will listen that the character ‘Villanelle’ is exactly me…
