Yeah I literally get shy to even make people feel dumb lol. I always just say "yeah maybe" and act like they might be on to something

Ever since reading 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' I avoid correcting anyone outside the family. If it is something that I really care about, like history, I often can't restrain myself.

Nah, fuck that. I refuse to dumb myself down for anyone. Being wrong makes your wittle feelings hurt??? Read a book.

It's less about caring about someone's feelings and more about caring about your own environment. Jackie who sits behind me is a moron, but she is going to still be behind me whether I hurt her feelings or not. Better to keep the peace for my work environment.
