Arrogance is what drives people and people look for others they can use. If you don't offer or have something they want then they're not interested. Most people don't have confidence, they have a punching bag, they step on others to elevate their status and sense of self-importance.

You expect too much of people.

You couldn't be any more wrong on people

There was a time when I wouldn't believe it myself, but people have their own lives to live, they're not here to serve and amuse us no matter how much we would like to believe the world revolves around us.

A modest man doesn't judge. Anything I can do anyone else could do better. Just depends on how much care and effort they're willing to put into it.

Wouldn't believe it? You... Thought the world revolved around you? Are you saying at some point you didn't believe that people are individuals, with their own lives to think about?

Based on your posting, I'd say they're estimating you just fine.

My dad is usually the one who does it most and 2nd is probably my mother.

Nice try, I didn't say myself, I said people. And I said I didn't want to believe what I know about people now. What I know about people, not myself ;) But nice try.

That's life, get over it. You've not experienced anything that a million+ people haven't experienced. Hell I'm 50 and have 3 degrees, raised 3 kids, did all the life ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long time ago and people still underestimate me. As I said, it's life.

Why is that funny? History is full of victorious people and peoples that were underestimated.

Impossible to give you a definitive answer, but here's the thing to break down.

What ACTUALLY matters here? You being taken seriously. So how would one go about getting that result? Well, you can't change others, so ignore everything about THEM. Concentrate on YOU.

Now we've narrowed that down, you can start taking a hard look at what you do and how you present it.

If people don't take you seriously then you should concentrate on mitigating a number of things. First off ALWAYS admit you can be wrong, if sufficient evidence presents itself. NEVER go into things absolute. And never go into things thinking you know it all or you know better, because one of the worst logical fallacies you can make is the arguemnt from personal increduilty fallacy - "I can't understand how this works, so it must be wrong".

Doing those things WILL lead people to not take you seriously. Obviously, all of this dwells upon you workin at it. Ther's very little you can do about people not taking you seriously aas soon as they meet you unless you SERIOUSLY ♥♥♥♥ up with social skills.

So, go look up critical thinking, logic and epistemology. Learn a few of these things, and you'll quickly pick up how to frame things, and how to present ideas and things to others. Then it's just a matter of your "stock" rising as you show you're capable and get proven to be right in future.

That's the best thing you can do.

As I said before, don't bother with what other people think. If they're got ♥♥♥♥ ideas or prejudices, that's THEIR issue and you likely won't be able to do anything about that.

For instance, I'm an old git. I'm retired, yet I'm a short arse and of slim build. I've ALWAYS looked well under my age. First job I had in management was difficult for ages as many other managers looked at me and "why is this dumb kid telling me what to do" I had to work on doing what I did and gradually it went away, but there was nothing I could do to directly change their prejudice.

It’s because you underestimate yourself
