When I have an idea or an opinion I find that I need to explain to someone, I am sometimes met with animosity. They either don't understand or agree with what I'm saying and I feel I need to try to explain it in different ways in order to get my point through. It becomes a problem when it is nothing but a back and forth struggle that goes nowhere. At times it seems the more assertive I am with my point of view, the more I receive friction.
I have a hard time giving up the conversation when I don't think they understand what I mean. I tend to continue explaining well until both parties in the conversation start to become agitated.
Regardless of my intentions, which is typically to help the person I'm speaking to, it ends up making things worse.
If it is something I feel is vitally important, I find it extremely difficult to let go. This usually creates a drama that could easily have been avoided.
However, if I don't speak my mind and something I am attempting to prevent happens, the guilt is on me for not doing what I can.
Frankly, my flaw is I don't know when to quit. My question to any who reads this is:
At what point do you step back and let things be?
