Do You Have a Good Argument for Holding Your Belief?
The more your message makes you feel good about yourself, the less likely it is to persuade someone else. It's also just a bad strategic choice to make your case in a very self-righteous and self-congratulatory way.

You should reward yourself emotionally, congratulate yourself for noticing when you're defensive or rationalizing, etc. Because that makes you better at noticing.
