Between Experts and Clients in Hostile or Uncomfortable Environments

Some experts belittle clients by treating them as if they are incapable of understanding even simple concepts, often as a way to assert dominance or make themselves feel superior.

This behavior is condescending and can be very demeaning. It often involves making clients feel stupid or inferior and then "solving" something easy for them, as if they need help with the basics.

This tactic can be used to undermine clients' confidence and establish a power dynamic where the "expert" appears more knowledgeable or competent.

Such actions are quite harmful, as they not only insult the intelligence of clients but also create a hostile or uncomfortable environment.

It’s important for clients to recognize this kind of behavior, as it is clearly a form of psychological manipulation or bullying.
