Yes, sometimes I say some stupid shit and other people correct me. Sometimes it’s the reverse. We all keep each other accountable.

I also like that, but I’m not as fond of when the correction is immediately aggressive, dismissive or insulting.
Like when people start ascribing attributes to my personality without knowing me or make assumptions about why I said it. I’d rather have people asking me to elaborate than jumping to conclusions.

I’ve learned that resonding with “I” statements helps with this kind of interaction.
“I don’t see it that way.” works as well as “You are wrong.”, but the “I” version implies fewer assumptions about what the other person is trying to communicate.
