Yes! It's a constant process to moderate my 'know it all' instincts. I remind myself that I don't need to say everything I think all the time. I'm glad I'm not the only 'neurodivergent curmudgeon' here on Substack. Thank you for your comment!
This is, hands down, my favorite bit of wisdom. I use it all the time - with my husband, colleagues, accountability partners etc "would you rather be right or be happy" - my variation on the original. Thanks for the reminder and reinforcement of this important life skill.
