There is nothing wrong with offering an opinion in the normal give-and-take of business discussions. Bit it's not appropriate to pass judgment when we specifically ask people to voice their opinions about us.
Try this: for one week treat every idea that comes your with from another person with complete neutrality. Don't take sides. Don't express an opinion. If you find yourself incapable of just saying "Thank you" make it an innocuous "Thanks, i hadn't considered that" or "Thanks, you've given me something to think about".
Following this advice will reduce the number of pointless arguments you have at home and work.
