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.

    Same as you would stop arguing offline, recognise the moment the argument isn’t going anywhere helpful and leave/defuse the conversation. Life’s too short to be arguing with people who you will probably never meet or see.

    Sometimes it’s the reason people choose just to lurk or choose not to comment on posts at all.
