Does anybody get this situation?
You're in a group discussion and you state your opinion on the matter, and people disregard it or dismiss it out of hand. Then, someone else will have their say and they get everyone nodding their heads in agreement, in spite of the fact they have just aired the same opinion as you did but worded it differently. You thinking to yourself, "that's exactly what I was saying!"
This has happened so many times, I've felt like I'm speaking an alien language!
