Tired of arguing with people...

Post Reply New Topic

I'm just tired of arguing. I don't like to argue unless it is necessary, and quite frankly, I don't feel like arguing even then right now.

We can all be so idiotic, and I personally don't like being an idiot. I doubt many people do. As idiots, we argue over mundane things, when in reality, they are out of our control and one little argument can't solve anything.

We are all an idiot in our own way, and quite frankly, we all need to just calm down and realize that we are all idiots and our opinions don't matter because while that hundred years might seem like a long time, in reality, it isn't, as everything will continue on that natural progression, no matter what we do.

I just don't understand how everyone (and I mean everyone) makes a big deal out the the meaningless stuff.

I guess it is because our thoughts are wild and quick, so our minds will wonder and gravitate towards the things that trigger negative reactions in our brain, and it is easier to gravitate towards negative things then it is to gravitate towards positives.

I wish that I was a neurotypical so I would be afraid to put my foot in the stream of the course of things. I want to embrace the status quo, so that I can be normal, but I won't, because that wouldn't feel right.

I hate being abnormal. I hate it. I hate being depressed and having to deal with sensory issues. I hate being "so smart" as my family and teachers put it. I hate being a human being. I wish I didn't exist, because at least I wouldn't have to deal with everything negative about myself.

Sorry for ranting, but I feel better when I vent anonymously. I am sorry if I am an idiot.

Sorry for being a hypocrite.

I experience arguments the way you experience arguments.

Yes, people (including my wife!) tend to argue about stupid stuff.

I try to avoid arguments whenever possible

I like to discuss things in a civilized way, though.

The anger (big or small) that arguing brings me concentration/focus and motivation. These are both sorely missing in my life and I'm at a point where I'm literally spending all day in bed. When I was in the hospital recently for being suicidal the only thing that got me looking after myself was a nurse pissing me off.

LOL....I'm always ready for a good discussion!

I bet this would really make you want to argue:

Why don't you see the good in the world? What is it that's keeping you staying in your bed?

My sentiments exactly. Arguments are too often done with a goal of determining who is right, rather than what is right. I'm all for discussion, but both parties have to be open to the idea that maybe, just maybe, they're not the one who's right.

(Sorry for double posting)

On a side note, anyone here every get emotionally overstimulated?

I do a lot, more than the times I am overstimulated sensory-wise.

It is like you are a well. You have a certain amount of water to be taken out and when it is depleted, it has to replenish.

That analogy is very true for me. I often shut down when I am emotionally overwhelmed, as I process emotions very quickly, as I process things very quickly in general.

My brain runs at a million miles per minute on average, and I would think many people here are the same.

At those times, I generally calm down by escaping to my imaginary Lovecraftian world I imagine every so often. It is very helpful to do so, sometimes.

Sometimes.

How to avoid an argument:

Everyone is entitled to their opinion

You cannot change someone's mind once theirs is made up

You cannot argue with an idiot

If you are talking to a brick wall, you are wasting your time

Do not be a broken record

If someone is taking things you say out of context, you are talking to a brick wall and wasting your time arguing about something you never even said

Seriously: I try to avoid arguments.

But if somebody criticizes me unjustifiably, I will not keep quiet.
