Does anyone else feel a lack of trust at work? A lack of trust in your judgement, reasoning, ideas etc...

How do you navigate that, other than proving yourself repeatedly?

Feeling very discouraged.

This is a really hard experience to navigate, especially if you believe your work should be validating enough. One thing I’ve done in the past is politely asked the person or team, whom I felt this from, to give more context to why they didn’t trust my judgement or ideas. Specifically in the space of a one on one status or private meeting. It tends to open the dialogue a bit more.

You may find it’s a communication issue and not exactly a trust issue. I also want to stress the MAY part, as it can also have nothing to do with you, and just be a reflection of that persons insecurities. Just something to consider.
