I speak my mind too freely because I give less and less of a shit what mainstream people think. I used to be deliberately humble and socially tactful, but I'm getting increasingly arrogant in light of how completely wrong and clueless average folk are about almost everything. People hate it when you show them up as wrong or challenge their morals - or even speak freely about a topic they feel insecure about. Instead of responding with reasonable counter-arguments, they just clam up and wear the "you're a bad guy" face. Everyone has incredibly weak egos nowadays.
This is a giant weakness of mine. How do you go about countering it? Or do you just try to avoid congregating with thin-skinned people?
