The Life of Being Acid Pt.1 (and Hopefully the final part)

[Mysterious Fox Assassin]

Ever feel like your blood is constantly boiling because people expect you to do certain things to be good? Well, yeah. That's my life. Welcome to the awe-inspiring life of being arsenic (or whatever corrosive acid you might associate with it). For those who may know this feeling, thank you. For those who don't, let me give a fine example. In a team, people want to be noticed by others because they are good or better than the others. I'm the sort of person that looks for different solutions for a problem. If none of those solutions work, I change my skill sets into something that can be more beneficial to me and the team. Because of other's superiority complex and having to figure everything out myself, I can imagine it being hard for that person to not feel like everyone's being an [redacted]. Nevertheless, I feel as if others should accept people who want to change because hitting a wall with just your fists isn't going to solve a [redacted] thing. If you want to get through a wall, you gotta change your approach and your equipment and ram into it. I see nothing wrong with it. Do y'all? /rant end

I'm not sure if I understood correctly, since my reading comprehension is sub-par. 

I think what you're describing is a scenario in which the superior, more experienced people in your group don't accept your ideas because they're too radical for them. You want to change an approach, but since they believe they are smarter than you, they don't even listen to your suggestion.

If that's the case, I think I can relate and give some advice, which *important* only applies to situations that have no dire consequences (for example, school team projects, sports, etc).

Since I'm not a good arguer, I could never push my idea through constant rejection. What I would do instead, is to give my idea, let my teammates ponder about it, perhaps reject it, and carry on until the end when they'd inevitably realize they should've taken my suggestion. That's how I started to gain more of people's confidence. People would listen to my ideas more, because many other times they'd proven to be good/correct. Of course, if my ideas had been proven unique but wrong, then things wouldn't have gone the way they did, so if I were you, I would just make sure that your idea is viable and perfectly realistic

Clearly this is coming from personal experience, so you should probably reword your rant because it's kind of hard to understand. use personal pronouns so it's less confusing.

 

Anyways, what it seems like you're saying to me is that people are discrediting your ideas because they see them as less valuable. Clearly the 'superior' people don't see your ideas as good because of something (idk). if that's the case, just show them why their ideas are worse than yours. make sure that you shoot down every point that they can make. if that doesn't work and they still go along with their idea, after the idea is used, show them (if it's not obvious) how it would have been better to use yours. at that point, you may be seen as more credible by your peers. 

 

if they STILL shoot your idea down (at first glance) after being successful in all these things, i have no idea why you would choose to collaborate with people like that.

 

(just my two cents)
