It's often not the content of your message, but the delivery that discourages people. Why would somebody want to bring you ideas when you make them feel stupid every time they do?

And I truly hate this toxic culture in science that allows people to be as disrespectful and harsh as they want as long as they write it off as "just being objective". But if you have a problem with their delivery, then they gaslight you or say you don't belong in science.

I honestly don't mind pessimism. I think to some degree, it's important in science. But that doesn't excuse a condescending and discouraging delivery. The culture of academia is just so strange. Constant hazing. "I got hazed so you must be hazed too". Very toxic.

Academic culture is one of so-called neural criticism which in reality it is about being mean, typically passive aggressively in my experience, when you disagree or even when you deliver a compliment.

I won best poster at the first conference I ever attended and was told by my advisor at the time that it wasn't potentially that good because they had two best poster prizes for the two days so mine being on the second day could have been worse than all on the first day.

What a rotten thing to say. How damaged is a person to say that to their own advisee, to be so jealous, instead of celebrating with them.

Well, I'm proud of your poster and prize. That guy can go pound sand.
