#2I vibe with this

#3It's interesting to me that all four examples put the blame with the other party.
I hope it's just worded poorly or I am reading too much into it.
Edit: I'm not saying that invalidates the article's content (in fact I recognize the situations from personal experience), but it doesn't really put a positive spin on it.

#4Great insights.
I often feel like saying: "normal people don't want to think about the details of a question." They grab for the quickest way to stop thinking and label it right or wrong depending on how much they like it.
This is of course an oversimplification.

#6I think I often do #1, but the point is to get acknowledgment whether I am understanding things correctly, by rephrasing them. The point is not to undermine the train of thought, but rather confirm the agreement before the train of thought leaves to some distant land.

And the OP is never actually wrong, he just couldn't explain himself

#8Sounds like my experience, too. I'm not autistic.

#9I can’t imagine dedicating this much time analyzing whether or not I can acknowledge when I’m wrong. It’s almost like this entire piece is an elaborate rationalization the author is making rather than admitting they are wrong.

#10The issue with this article is how the author is approaching all of these discussions. There is no attempt to see the other person's perspective, or evaluate how the author should be approaching the discussion. This is very common among us Engineers but is a massive failure. If a manager comes over and suggests something to you, you need to understand their perspective for coming to that discussion, not asking questions that would make you make the same suggestion they made.
