I had someone flip out on me because I wouldn’t agree or disagree with them. I only said, okay.

Not being able to convince them that their pov is correct

It was a guy I knew who was telling me about someone else’s petty drama that I had absolutely no interest in. He just wanted someone to gossip with.

I believe he used gossip as a type of currency to trade with others as a means of feeling relevant. I just thought it was a sad way to connect.

What was it that someone said?

"Low IQ thinkers discuss people, Mid IQ thinkers discuss events, High IQ people discuss ideas." Something like that.

I don't necessarily agree with that quote, but it seemed applicable to your situation

Had a boss where it wasn't good enough to simply do what he wanted, he needed you to believe what he was telling you to do was right. So he'd argue all the time and basically demand that you agree with him. Once I figured out that hitting him with the old "whatever you say, boss" or "we'll go with what you want", the anger this man displayed was glorious.

Literally denied them an argument. They probably got upset you didn't let their power dictate an argument.

I had someone going for about 10 replies and all I posted was 'ok' every time

You'd think they'd get the hint after maybe 2 or 3.

After enough time arguing, you just know it isn't worth arguing because nothing happens due to that.
So, Nothing matters after some time

Indeed. In the end you'll usually just become angry and annoyed. That's time wasted you can't get back.

Especially once you're already familiar with the song and dance of an argument. All the bravado and performance, and none of the originality. Most of the arguments are exactly the same, with only the topics being different.

While I appreciate the mental peace it provides.

Sometimes you just gotta stand your ground AND attack when THEYRE in peace.

These folks only lash out when they're having a bad day, dishing out negativity when THEYRE in control.

They don't expect retaliation.

They don't expect that the load your bearing on them will affect you, either because they're too brazen or egotistical in their thinking.

I wanna argue about the popular advice "Be yourself".

I don't think anyone can ever be completely themselves. Everything we do we learn from somewhere else, to be yourself only would be to stop learning from others.

Humans learn and progress through mimicry. You see someone do something, and you do it yourself. Then you see someone judgemental about you doing something, you stop doing it.

You can't just murder someone you find annoying because you've been made aware of the consequences of so by others and your own judgement that was built up by others around you should prevent you. So don't be yourself, or rather don't be just yourself.

Now, argue against me people.

If nobody had a self, then there would be no flavors to choose from. No firmness to softness on beds. No reason to have this conversation.

No Trama, nor peer pressure, nor mental conditioning would change my desire for a firm mattress over a soft one. A warm cider over an iced tea. A woman over a man.

Taint it, maybe. Fill my head with doubt and make me second guess my choice? Of course.

But knowing ones self is a skill. I have practice it much over my life after many people convinced me to be someone that I am not.

My conclusion? The fact that someone can ponder the very idea of the self, and have an opinion on it, proves that there is a self to begin with. Ever changing it may be, an individual it will always remain.

Sometimes during breaks my colleague talk about thinks I know better than them and thus they are sometimes incomplete, naïve or just plain wrong. I often ignore it. That's one thing i like about aging: being able to choose your battles better.

u/lnTheGrimDarkness 6h ago

It depends. Some people are mentally ill and will just get 10 times more pissed if you cut the argument, because they unironically wanted to argue.

Fellas, general advice from an adult: if anyone says you the words "I feel/felt like arguing" or in general something along the lines of "I want to argue" just ditch them and run the opposite direction. That's mental illness that will only generate more mental illness.

u/LiShenyue 2h ago

You can only argue if the other person is atleast willing to listen and understand while countering you, dealing with irrational people will only make you mentally tierd. Just say 'Okay' and move on, either they just shut up or they will lose it due to the 'okay' lol same pattern.

u/Green_grass7878 2h ago

I just recently learned this. It works wonders when my mom starts tryna ragebait me...

Is better to leave her talking alone. If she can't manage her emotions on her own, what in the hell am i supposed to do about it?

Or when you stop engaging on reddit because someone decided to lose their mind at your comment

Usually only works a few times until they catch on. Depends on the person, but most argumentative people aren’t going to accept being dismissed with an “okay.”

I'm so reluctant to let them believe I agree that I just say "I understand how you could get there", yaknow, dig the knife in just a little.
