^ that. “I’m not sure that idea is what we need here because XYZ”, not “You’re being an idiot.” When you say “You”, you make it personal and force them into being defensive.

only if they ask me - I've been known to provide unfiltered feedback.

OP, you sound angry, possibly irrationally so. Speak with your career counselor or someone else more experienced you trust so you can get a third party opinion that is relevant for your situation and firm culture.

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart
