It has taken me a while to realize that trying to prove someone wrong isn't worth it.

Save your strength for things that mater. They`ll eventually prove themselves wrong.

Been there
Even if it's positive it's still not worth the emotional and mental toll it may take to do it ..

" whether you think you can or can't you're right " by someone I forgot their name ...

Yep. I learned that lesson awhile ago but still way longer than it should've been. It's never worth it and even when you finally change their mind (rare) it is never fully satisfying.

With that being said, sadly I have to do this as part of my job due to the nature of my work and it wastes a substantial amount of energy.

Internet or real life?

100% a waste of time. Sometimes people just have to learn on their own.

agree one hundred percent

That's just wrong. 🤣.

Change, while prompted from without, must ultimately come from within.

Hell ya! If you want to believe 2 plus 2 is 5 then I am going to say, "Sure is. Keep on."

i prove it to myself. I use my head over my heart, look at facts first, then i cut them off like a wart...zippity doo da...gone.

Yay!

Depends how stubborn you both are

That can be so emotionally exhausting, nothing wrong with knowing one’s truth and having a quiet strength with it.

Besides they’re always sorry afterwards right ?

fubar 🎪💕

I completely agree with you
