Sadly, I have to do that sometimes with my parents because I can never win the argument. Dad always resorts to threats whenever he feels he’s losing, and mom will do anything to win, even if she has to twist the facts. I know they want to keep me in control and I wish they could just listen more.
And there are people who are so fixated on their opinion that they can always come up with reasons why they are right. Toxic people are definitely among the list. Once upon a time I second-guessed myself and didn’t argue with them. And now I still don’t argue with them, but not because I think they’re right, but because I can’t see any point of arguing more and need to consider whether I should continue to be around them.
