It sounds like what you really need is to be at peace with the idea that you'll be wrong sometimes. Some people even go beyond that to actually enjoy their mistakes because of what they learn from them (I haven't got that far yet  ).
Similarly, sharing knowledge needn't be arrogant. "Ooh, I heard this cool idea the other day that might help with that" isn't self-aggrandisement - it's just offering information you have, not showing off. |
You make a good point. Pride cometh before a fall and God knows I've fallen more than once. I would say there are times where I should have said something or given something a shot and I didn't. That not only robs me of oppurtunity, it also robs others of the indirect benefits.
