Let me take you through a process of responding to being addicted to being right. 1. Notice that you are upset when someone else doesnt agree that you are right. This is the first step in the process. It is a simple awareness that you are in reaction. 2. Pause and allow yourself to see how crazy it is to be upset about whos right. This is a simple task that requires that you give your ego a small time out. It is goofy to be that upset about whether people agree with you or not. 3. Dont be angry that you are in reaction, but chalk it up to an opportunity to gain insight about yourself. Actually change the meaning of your reaction from something that is off base to an opportunity. 4. Forgive the other person for not having your wonderful insight. Hey, they have the freedom to believe what they want, just like you do. 5. Examine if you are possibly wrong. If by any remote possibility you believe that you are in reaction and wrong about it, please admit it. 6. Dont expect them to love you just because you admitted you were wrong. Just admit it and see what happens.That will help you get more real, more humble and will help your relationships deepen. There is great dignity in being able to admit when you are wrong. It is wonderful to be around that kind of person.
