You know it might be true, but it also might not be. I think you'll feel less guilt if you remind yourself that it really doesn't matter "why" people disagree with you - it's their problem not yours.
And I don't mean that in a cruel or hostile way. As much as you love someone, you can't solve their personal issues, they're on their own (just as we all are).
I think attributing hostile motives tends to make me feel worse. So it's easier on me to feel sorry for the misguided souls who disagree with my enlightened, obviously correct opinion (ok, I'm being facetious, but really it's a whole lot more fun to think I'm right, and feel sorry for anyone who isn't me).
I'm not saying I never entertain the possibility that I might be wrong, and I don't feel bad about considering the possibility (if I choose to), but I also don't feel bad if I refuse to consider the possibility. It's ok to feel that you're making the right choices for yourself, and it's ok not to listen to opinions to the contrary. You're life, you get to choose.
