I get this a lot. My old take was to react harshly.

My new take is not to let things go. If there is something I feel strongly about, I will try to react calmly and rationally and pick the arguments that work best in the situation. There should not be harm in making your views known and expressing yourself when it contradicts those around you. It's possible that the people around you disagree with you so much that it would be better to find other people to be around.

I have had the problem of strongly disagreeing with people for quite a long time and I can talk about it with you more if you'd like. My therapist and I spoke about it last week and it will probably come up again. I can share some insights.
Thanks for this!
