OK, yes, it's a delicate balance... just about like everything else... you become too strident, too hectoring, too forceful... too damn opinionated... and well, you come off as a loud-mouth asshole... and not good company at social gatherings...
Of course, you may actually be an asshole, the world is full of them, but maybe it's something you should decide to "work on," to try to modulate, and tone down... what you really want to be is a Bodhisattva, and being an asshole, and being an Enlightened Being, do not really go together well...
