I’ve (19F) been told that I have a tendency to “headbutt” with others and disagree a lot. Whenever I hear an opinion that I don’t agree with I always have to jump in and tell them why my opinion is “correct.” I’ve been described by my sisters as “pedantic” which causes others to back down in conversations. It’s making me feel horrible.
I just don’t know how else to communicate. I love when people exchange opinions with me and try to reach a common ground between us. The problem is that it can be quite aggressive, especially as a female since women tend to find it harsh and men don’t like when you challenge them to that extent. I don’t know if it’s because I feel passionate about what I say, but I just know I need to stop.
Someone please help.
