I'm learning that when I feel most defensive it's usually because what was said resonates with me on some level as truth. A nerve has been struck. I believe this thing to be true of me and I don't like it. Now I REALLY don't like that this other person has discovered and exposed my weakness / shortcoming / fallibility.
