I tend to be an opinionated individual. As such, when I present (or defend) my opinions, I tend to go out of my way to push my opinion as the correct one. I may go as far as to insinuate that others are wrong. This tends to get mixed feelings from a lot of people. Some people just think I’m asserting myself. Others think I’m a know it all. Others just think I’m a plain jerk. There maybe some truth in all three.
Sometimes it just ends up that things work one way for me, and another way for someone else (See my last post). There’s nothing I can do when it comes to that. People are different. Just because something is wrong for me, doesn’t mean it’s wrong for everyone.
I do however, realize that sometimes I’m wrong. Consider this my open invitation to all you (nonexistent) readers out there. If you think I’m wrong, incorrect or just plain out to lunch. Please call me out. Don’t just tell me I’m wrong though. If you can’t back yourself up, then don’t bother. Tell me why I’m wrong. Make me defend myself, or it’s just not worth it.
If there’s one thing I’ve found in my time on the internet, it’s that if you assert yourself enough and just act like you’re right, people will listen to you. Most people don’t have the will to stand up to someone who thinks they’re right.
I hope you do.
