Online Debates

I hate online debates and yet I always find myself being into one. It honestly sucks. Whenever I lose to a debate it’s frustrating because your actually wrong and I hate being wrong. Most of the time when I do online debate it because I was angry, and it sucks writing an argument when you’re angry because most of the time you end up wrong.

I now have PTSD like reactions when I notice in my notification someone replied to my comment. I kind of freak out, my brain is then running in circles and just contemplate in what did I do this time. I sigh in big relief when the reply was just nonsense or agreeing with me or it was never an argument in the first place. That’s why whenever I try for a debate I try to be kinder and more sincere. I become clearer and open minded and it’s kind of hard being an asshole to a person who is just kind to you.

From my experience it’s easier said than done, I still need some honing in my skills. Although, I can see myself being better with online debates. So I guess that’s good.
