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.

    you don’t have a problem with stopping the argument. you have a problem with the desire to always be right. you’re compensating for a lack of recognition in your skills and intelligence in real life.

    accept that you will never get that recognition and you will stop needing to be right.

    I know this, because I was this.

    next time you see something that someone said is wrong, just high five them and move on.
