They said it. What did your mind say to you, inside? They may be right, they must be right? But some others (here) are telling you, maybe not. You have some allies here.

Sometimes, if you can keep your own understanding inside your mind, you don't have to immediately react to what others are doing. Then if you can do that (not necessarily easy) you can choose how to respond (outside) to what others are doing, and not feel forced.
