Really truly internalize the fact that you can be and sometimes are wrong when you are certain you are right. Internalizing this knowledge helps take the edge off being so opinionated. Another thing is to realize that it is often much better for everyone if you can help other people come to the same realization(s) as you on their own rather than just persuading them to acquiesce. So when you have a disagreement, ask questions. Open ended ones, not leading ones, that address what you think are the problems with whatever they are proposing.
