Friends who ARGUE

Post Reply New Topic

Some will argue about ANYTHING... no matter how reasonable a statement, or objective and neutral you are they twist it into something it's NOT and shove it in your mouth and run with it. Then their argument gets so stupid and irrational, but call YOU irrational, and they're acting so petty and childish but have to call YOU petty and childish, and no matter how obviously they're wrong or out of line they keep fighting with as much intensity as they would had YOU been the one who's out of line. God, they get snide and insult you, and leave you dumbfounded. And God forbid you get the last word, then they're ANGRY as all hell and it's like, well dumb***, handn't you started the stupid conflict you both wouldn't be in that situation. Then they marvel at how the friendship died. What the hell is wrong with some people? Do they not know how ****** up they're being? Are they ret*d in some way? Or are they absolutely psychotic and out of touch with reality?

Maybe they just didn't want to give in. When talking with a friend and their opinion differs greatly from yours then it's often best just to drop the subject if you want to be friends with them. Arguments aren't always about the facts being argued over he probably was only arguing because you contradicted him and the more you contradict him the angrier he would get resulting in the stuff you described.

I remember I did the same thing once when someone was talking about how baths are unhygenic, her argument was totally sound and made sense but the fact she just wouldn't accept that having a couple of baths a week was fine made me argue that bathing was a lot more hygenic than it really was, I even won the argument and made her feel quite bad which was bad for me since she was my girlfriend lol

That was just an example btw the subject matter is irrelavent, some people just don't like being condescended to no matter if the condescening person is correct. Being correct isn't a good enough excuse for being a argumentative, backing down is necessary sometimes and not arguing in the first place is too.

Believe me, I tried to stay away from arguing. It didn't work. If this guy wanted to argue and start criticizing, he could turn anything into a fight. It was head-shakingly unbelievable. It's like he got angry when we argued but he wouldn't stop challenging EVERYTHING. Idiot.

My friend is like that. He's quite defensive of his views and stuff. I've heard from people how hard it is to have a conversation with him without it turning into some full-on debate about society or whatever. I've found stuff like that tend to piss the other people off.
Honestly, I don't see it as being stupid or anything, just depending on their personality, maybe they like getting points across, or winning, or maybe they like to express their opinions... differently.
