Wanting to be correct, to be heard, and to acknowledge is prevalent in any environment and situation we find ourselves in. Few issues are real issues other than the fact it is more about two individuals (yes, it is typically two, but since we can’t deal with matters alone, we instead recruit armies to side with us in every battle) who cannot put their sense of self-importance aside and instead focus on the better of the team or community they are working with.
Yet, if we are so intent on being self-important, you can be if you are alone. It is a choice we can make where we can always be correct and always be assured of our importance, but then we are alone. Self-importance only matters if your goal is isolation. If we are so intent on being right, if we do not choose to leave, others will tire and shut us out of what they continue to work through together collaboratively.
