Apologies for the delayed response. I had things to do.

Yeah, I notice when people are getting uncomfortable, and I'm capable of pulling back somewhat. But it'd be interesting to know their perspective, or why they get so uncomfortable.
For example, I have two friends, one of whom is much more domineering, whereas the other is quite passive. The more domineering one pretty much steamrolls over the other such that she's now pressured her into living a lifestyle that has put her into financial debt, yet the passive friend still won't stand up for herself. I don't understand that. I'd like to, partially so that I could offer her some advice which might actually stick, or just in general because I'm curious.

I've been told on several occasions by various people in my life that they refuse to argue with me anymore because it distresses them.

No no. I'm an asshole. It's important we not deceive ourselves.
