I'm not exactly sure... It's not that I feel obligated to agree with their viewpoint. I think maybe its because they are so sure of themselves and I tend to put myself in other's shoes that it implants doubt into my own viewpoint.
Accept their viewpoint as it is based on thier own experiences. It may not resonate but it may still be a valid opinion from there perspective/ experience. It could highlight an idea that perhaps you need to look at again. The guilt is interesting, I would really think about the reason for it? Is it guilt you dont offer your own opinion? .
