Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I blurt out corrections in the heat of the moment, often right in front of other people, and instead of taking it in they just get humiliated and dig in
• The mistakes that mortify me most are the ones I was dead certain about and turned out flat wrong
• When I actually got something wrong I either spiral into "I’m so sorry, I’m the worst" or get weirdly defensive, and both just make the whole thing bigger and drag out the moment I’d rather move past.
• I dropped the ball and now I can feel myself about to bury the admission in a whole paragraph of reasons why it wasn’t really my fault
• In the heat of an argument the sharpest possible words just fly out of my mouth before I can stop them, and an hour later I’m sick about what I said
