I have a personality trait that makes probing beliefs for weakness difficult to avoid. I do it nearly constantly for my own beliefs. I'm uncomfortable thinking or believing something without evidence or testing. I'm finding that a lot of people don't like that.

Maybe I'm just an asshole. Maybe it's my delivery. I especially struggle with ambiguity, such as when people ask my opinion when they really just want me to affirm their own belief or opinion.

I feel duty bound to give my honest opinion when asked. I really struggle to understand why so many people ask for opinions they don't actually want or initiate discussions regarding beliefs they have no intention of questioning or explaining.

I'm thinking it may just be best to wish people good luck and/or just disengage.

"That's cool, bro. I support your happiness and wellbeing."

"What do you think? ... Sounds like you have it figured out."
