A fragile ego doesn't like to get be told they are wrong. I appreciate different perspectives because I live mostly in my head so wandering outside of it and hearing from other people that I respect is really helpful.

I don't always agree or listen to the other persons advice but it gives me something to think about. It either causes me to change my current course, or double down on it.

Listening and observing is great. You can hear a lot more from others by being aware than just asking questions and getting verbal responses.
