I work with a friend is higher in the hierarchy than me who always insists they're right and it's driving me nuts. It feels like they're trying to hold their position of authority over me for stuff they don't know about. I have far more varied and higher level experience than them in career and hobbies and when stuff comes up from my area of expertise their tone is like talking down to me about all this stuff they've literally never done. I feel like my experience and intelligence is just trying to be invalidated by them so they can feel comfortable in their position. I'm super annoyed at being preached at needlessly and incorrectly for things that I have put years of painful effort into learning the truth of. They now more often disagree or try to correct the things I'm saying even when it wasn't even that kind of conversation to begin with. It really makes me angry to constantly feel judged and poorly. It's a waste of both our short lives to turn things into an argument going nowhere
