Shot down

Have you ever had an idea? Perhaps what you think of as a good idea (maybe not a great idea, but one worth at least pursuing)

And then, you tell your idea to someone else, and they scoff, and make fun of it?

But then you think it’s a good enough idea that you try and learn a bit more about it, and then the other person sees what you’re doing and ridicules it, louder this time?

yeah, me neither.
