the issue I am constantly facing is that at my job instead of listening to my input as an equal member of the team, the response I get whenever I have any kind of pushback to a decision made by someone else is that they need to teach me in simple terms why I'm wrong instead of have a conversation about the pros and cons of my proposal. Their viewpoint isn't that I'm someone whose opinions are different from theirs, it's that I'm someone who just doesn't know enough about what I'm doing to have the right ones, and I simply need to be corrected.
