How do you react when everyone on your team is excited about making an idea that sucks?

With good sportsmanship. Support them with your full enthusiasm. Be open to the idea that you could be wrong.

remind myself that I know better than everybody that I work with and that the fact that they all like this idea and I don't is because they are all idiots and i'm the smart one

Remind yourself that you’re on a team which means sharing a space with others. Your peers are not there to prioritize and serve that which only pleases you and you alone.. Respect their perspective and be curious about what they see that you don’t. Bad ideas happen that’s unavoidable so be prepared to be fluid and open to your peers. They earned their right to be in that room with you, not for you.

Try to be happy that they’re happy.

I call it creative compersion. In polyamory, compersion is the feeling of joy vs jealousy when your partner is having sexual relationships with other people.

Creative compersion to me is trying to be happy that the people are excited about making stuff, even if the work itself isn’t to my taste. Especially in situations where I’ve tried fo fight for better work and the client just isn’t budging. If my team is feeling pretty good, I try to shift my mindset to just being happy for the people I work with. Would I have preferred making something good? YES! But making a good thing is extremely hard and I don’t always have a ton of control over it, but I can always control my reaction.

Without dampening their enthusiasm, maybe offer a solve for the part you don't like the most.
