Have you ever lost connection with someone you loved because you needed to be right?
Maybe you argued until they stopped talking.
Maybe you defended yourself so strongly, you didn’t see the hurt in their eyes.
Maybe they walked away—not because they didn’t care,
but because it was too hard to stay close to someone who never said, “I was wrong.”
Tell us about a time when defensiveness cost you something real.
What did you say?
What do you wish you had done instead?
Your story might help someone else choose humility over pride—before it’s too late.
