Perhaps you've just never been criticized or had someone look at you like you were stupid. Maybe you've never had someone dismiss your concerns immediately, give you a rushed response which has nothing to do with your question, and act like they had to do the work for you. This happens all the time, in all areas of life. I am impressed you've never run into it.
- rcthompson 12y agoThere's a difference between "I think you're stupid because you're asking questions" and "I don't have the time/patience/interest/whatever to answer your questions." I've certainly encountered my share of the latter, but I don't interpret it as an insult to my intelligence. (Or even worse, there's also "I don't like your questions because my idea won't stand up to close scrutiny." I get that every once in a while too.)
