I don’t think anything is “wrong” with you but experience and observation suggests it’s hard to prioritize that exclusively without becoming miserable or lonely. My father always said “are you more interested in being right or winning?” and I tell my kids “Are you more interested in being in the right or achieving your goals?” That framing was always more appealing to me since happiness or winning isn’t always a key consideration. It makes you ask what it is you really want. And if what you really want is to be in the right, well, your best course or action is pretty clear.
I like your wording because it reveals that I generally (but not always) lack goals that are more important to me than being right, and it explains the situations in which being right takes the back-seat.
