I was once 21 and I had the same thinking as you did and as OP does.

I thought I knew better than these people telling me I knew nothing and it turns out… I was wrong.

That’s the great thing about getting older and hopefully wiser. You start to understand you know nothing and use that to learn from people who know more.

When people ask me how do i know the things i know, i tell them "i listened to people who knew".

It brings to mind a quote or two:

"We spend the first two years learning to talk, and the rest of our lives learning to listen"

"When i was 14 i thought my father knew nothing. at 21 i thought, the old man sure has learned a lot in 7 years."
