I often feel like I irritate people by questioning assumptions that underlie habitual behavior or decisions that have had a lot of time invested in them.

I'd like to think I appreciate it, but I'm pretty sensitive to feeling like I fucked up. I'll either self censor or put in extraordinary thought in before opening up for critique to try to prevent being exposed as wrong.
I think part of the problem is that people are extremely reluctant to question their assumptions, and someone raising a question might make them more likely to jump onto the defensive than actually question themself.

Yeah totally. I'm less defensive than when I was younger, but I'm still not exceptionally good at vulnerability and openness to criticism. I've got a pretty tight budget before fight or flight kicks in.
