Why do I feel the need to be right—even when it doesn’t actually matter?

In this episode, I unpack the psychology behind always needing to be correct: how ego, insecurity, and a desire for safety can turn conversations into quiet competitions. I talk about why being wrong feels physical, why I feel safest making mistakes around teachers, and what it might mean to choose connection over correctness—even when that feels like becoming a completely different person.

This isn’t about winning arguments. It’s about learning why we need to.
