Or are you a 'let them be wrong' go with the flow kinda cat? I argue. All the time. Especially in relationships. It's a form of bonding.
My mother tells me that I would argue with a tree. I keep my mouth shut if I don't really care about the subject, or if I'm not in the mood to deal with the other person.
I argue a lot, I embrace my argumentative nature. it is intellectual discourse. or intercourse, whichever the case may be.
I've been argumentative all of my life but within the last month or so I have seen a rapid change in my personality, something that seems almost beyond my control. My awareness of the relativity of knowledge is growing. Once you realize there is only so much you can know about a person's intentions, about what exactly they are trying to say, what they might have been through and the extent to which your own guess is as good as theirs, there are about 95% less things in the world worth arguing about. When it comes to things that I know are absolutely and unequivocally true, its free range, but otherwise I refrain from thinking I know too much. This could be just a phase. You might see judgmental face eater return within a few weeks. EDIT: I also argue vehemently with people who think they know too much in order to balance things out.
My sister could argue with a tree too. Me however, I don't have the erm.. mind to argue, I never have been good with arguing, let alone even a conversation, I can't think of things to say. I sorta freeze when I go into a confrontation (not of my chosing lol). My sister how ever will argue *at* me, I just laugh and ignore her, she is just making a scene xD
I don't argue, it's next to pointless to argue... I always find myself mocking an individual with humor instead of seriously arguing with them whenever I enter an argument. All in all... most of the things people argue about are so circumstantial and irrelevant. I'll argue about where to go for dinner, but I won't ever argue about anything ideological. Hell, I'd even rather not discuss anything philosophical at this point in my life. Who really gives a shit? I got my beliefs, you've got yours... whatever, honestly... whatever. Mine are set in stone, no real need to share or manifest them... just gotta live by them. If I ever really argue it's 99.9% for the lulz.
Relationships kinda call for arguing. But besides that shit, I only argue when it's totally necessary.
with some people i keep my mouth shut b/c i know with certain people, once you get them started, they won't shut the hell up. Then there are those people who it's pointless to try to argue with b/c it just goes in one ear and out the other.
I basically think the person who causes laughter the most is the person who wins any argument. Folks who can't laugh at themselves are there to be laughed at. Isn't that how it goes?
