Whenever I see a comment on social media that I think is wrong, I feel the need to correct it. These arguments can go on for days, even weeks, and if I don’t win the argument, I get overly fixated on it, wondering where I went wrong and so on.

    What are you hoping to gain from arguing? I have a Facebook “friend” that I have argued with on many occasions. I will never convince him of anything. In fact, there’s a good chance I’ve pushed him even further into his psychosis entrenching him even further in his echo chamber of bullshit. My goal isn’t to convince him. My goal is to have the counter-point to his asinine crazy readily available. Also, since he owns a local business and fully flaunts his idiocy, others have taken notice and it’s affected his business.
