Why do people give a negative when you are the expert and giving good advice?

I don't get it, is it an ego thing?Why do people give a negative when you are the expert and giving good advice?

hewww....the same thing happens to me too....
I don't want to tear down your cathedral, but maybe even experts can get it wrong sometimes? Or is that blasphemy?





Maybe you should just lighten up a little (in this particular case, for I don't know how light-hearted you slide through the rest of your life...)? ;))
Social interactions are funny (odd) things. The situation makes a big difference. Usually in my experience from both sides of that situation is that either the expert is not recognized as such by the listener, or the information is presented poorly. People tend to dislike being preached at, no matter what the subject.





And sometimes people disagree in a way that indicates they want to learn more, where they are presenting the arguments that they see as important in making it dfficult for them to accept the ideas presented by the expert. Do not imagine that just because you are an expert that you cannot learn from your discussion with non-experts. And don't imagine that just because they are not expert, that they cannot understand why you support your views (the reason you think what you do).





As for the absence of recognition of expertise, the history of the relationship is usually important. Older siblings or peers that you have known since forever tend to think of you in the way that you once were and may think of you in a subordinate social position that precludes your being an expert in areas that they are not. Strangers may be unaware of your extensive knowledge in the subject unless you are introduced to them as an expert.





And finally, even experts can be wrong. Happens all the time.
It's not really negative--A good answer will give the pros and cons of an issue and let the asker do some thing as to which way to go. nothing is really black or white but the gray areas in the middle is vthe part that must be concidered as the best course in that situation. Be thankful you get both views of a solution.everyone needs the opportunity to have thoughts on the final outcome.--You get pros and cons and allowed to participate in the answer--who can you blame if it's not the best answer. no-one--but you feel good you covered the bases for ethical proplem solving
They're just mean and don't like spreading the love :(
