Why do people underestimate me?

[Panazois λ]

It just seems to happen a lot with me. Even with my family.

Maybe they read your threads here.

You're young and the ravages of time will iron out your idiosyncrasies. Don't despair, Pan.

Idiosyncrasy, I like that word, wise advice.

Age, experience, gender, biases, and we tend to treat people we know differently than strangers. But we tend to make judgements based on first impressions and those are all over the map.

I guess the question is how do you want people to estimate you? How do they estimate you? And why do you think they come to those conclusions? Sometimes being honest with one's self is the hardest thing to do. But in cases where the rest of the Universe isn't going to change to accommodate your feelings, it's pretty much the only option you have to make progress.

Genuine respect and recognition can take time, no matter who you are. And I would say it's better for people to underestimate you and find they misjudged you. Rather than wanting people to estimate you highly to suit your ego and then not meet those expectations that you told yourself you were owed.

I'm often overlooked and underestimated as well. story of my life.

More often than not people make decisions for me or try to think for me without giving me the chance to make my own effort, it happens on this forum quite frequently from other users, some of them are quite rude or plain disrespectful.

It's not my place to tell them otherwise, if they want to act like a bully or run roughshod over me, then that is their choice but i won't let it change what i want to do. i'll make my own choices when i get to them.

It is to your advantage to be underestimated. It's like stealth mode. People will reveal things that they wouldn't if they overestimated you.

They don't, they may be gas lighting you out of jealousy driven by a superiority complex. People like to undermine or set others up to knock them down. Misery loves company. They feed off of the aggravation or misery they cause you.

You'd like to think people aren't that bitter and predatory but they are. You're their target. So don't be a soft target, be a hard target.

well, you did say you have no skills

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.
