Help Arguing Against Certain Theories

@strongmangoals

Then I dont really understand why you need "help arguing against " it.

You don’t need to correct everyone’s belief. You can just go “okay” and continue on with your life.

At the the time it was to prove to i was right which is actually pretty silly when they wont Change there mind anyway, generally most of the time people need to find out for themselves. I learnt from this experience though.

There are many ways to grow as a person. You have mentioned this a few times so it’s obviously something you struggle with. None of us are perfect but a big point that this forum tries to convey, is to keep trying every day to improve yourself.

Keep at it mate, you have the right attitude, you just need to keep working on you and let other people work themselves out.

Thanks alot man!, i think without this forum i would have made half the mental progress i have made. I do struggle with it but you have to make mistakes to learn from them.

I find a lot of people are invested in their position or opinions and arguing with them is futile. One great thing I took from Neil deGrasse Tyson when debating with people who have “differing” opinions is to ask them what would convince them to change their mind. If they say, “Nothing,” then the debate is over. If they tell you something that would convince them, you present it, and they still don’t budge, the debate is over.
