You should be less concerned with winning and what other people think about you. You should be more concerned with being honest with yourself and making sure your beliefs match the facts. If they say you are wrong, ask why.
My fear of what others think about me is definitely a contaminant in my mind, but I agree if my beliefs match facts I shouldn't worry so much!
