I felt so extremely frustrated when a friend made a huge deal of how "I thought I was always right and nobody else counted". Okay, fair enough, but explain further since that doesn't sound nothing like me. I had taken his opinion into consideration and changed my mind tons of times.
Turns out I had to precceed any statement about politics with wich he didn't agree with "in my opinion" or something like that. Every. Single. Time.
It's especially frustrating as it's completely meaningless. Of course it's my opinion and not someone else's. Of course I believe it's probably right, otherwise it wouldn't be my current view on the topic.
Except absolutely nobody is going to return the favour. Everyone communicates in the way they know how and comes in a more natural way to them. You just expect OP to neither eat or have the cake.
