I train people in a technical field, so I’m used to breaking complex things down to basic sub parts and combining them until they illustrate the concept.

I stopped explaining anything to people outside of work after I had someone ask me how something worked, then called me a mainsplainer after I answered their question.

Now, if someone asks me how something works, I just say I’ll have to look it up and get back to them. Then they usually either look it up themselves or forget about it.
