What does it mean when someone dismisses your opinion? Even when you’re fairly knowledgeable about the topic at hand?

1. Dunning Kruger would like to enter the chat.

2. Depends. Can you give a concrete example of a time when this happened?

3. idk people get egos sometimes lol and then it triggers *your* ego and you’re having like a fight but not a fight and it gets *weird.*

   i swear most of the petty complaints people make about each other are just ego but we always wanna pathologize/intellectualize it.

4. I might get downvoted but unfortunately people tend to subconsciously rank people in terms of perceived social status. This means that you can say the same thing as someone else and be right about but you’ll still get dismissed when they wouldn’t have been simply because your words don’t carry the same weight, right or wrong.
