Whenever I see a comment on social media that I think is wrong, I feel the need to correct it. These arguments can go on for days, even weeks, and if I don’t win the argument, I get overly fixated on it, wondering where I went wrong and so on.

    Realize that they don’t see you as a person, and no amount of logic or reason will change their opinion. You aren’t having a spirited debate about the fundamentals or right and wrong. This isn’t you face to face with someone, where you may have a chance at influencing them.

    Spend your mental energies on people in real life. The internet is for memes and jokes.
