Observation: I suffer from "I'd Rather Be Right" syndrome- "I do not care if you are angry at me, I am correct and you can just get over yourself."
I am figuring out that while it is important for me to be correct about things, it is also important for me to feel like my opinion is being listened to and considered even if the person I'm talking to will ultimately reject it as incorrect or simply uninteresting.
I have recently discovered that being "right" and not being snubbed outright for having X opinion are NOT, in fact, the same thing.
I...had a point. It wandered off. This was supposed to tie in to what you said but um...I lost the pieces. --;
