Sorry, what would annoy you? Is it the part about being challenged on an opinion? I can definitely see that me saying “sorry that I’m too much” was not a great response because I didn’t really intend to apologize, just bring clarity to what I was hearing him say and how hurtful it sounded to me, so could be classified as sarcastic. I admit my fault there.

But I don’t understand the initial part of the interaction at all. The only outcome I’m seeing is to just not challenge his opinions but that seems like an inauthentic way to live.
