A decision that does not go our way is not an attack on our identity, and yet when others disagree with us or disregard our opinion, we take it personally.
The stronger our belief system, the more difficult it is for us to look beyond our own perspective and treat other people's ideas worthy of consideration. Being stuck in right vs wrong can cause us to feel emotionally stressed out, prevent us from expressing our own ideas with the right frame of mind, and ignore what others have to say.
