It is creepy to think about how many videos on the word "argument" that pumped up on my social media feed since this week's prompt came out. That is a gentle reminder that we should be careful what information about ourselves we are putting out there on the internet, as we no longer have any atom of privacy whatsoever.
Now to the question of the week.
Are you a fan of arguments? Do you go on with it once you find yourself in that situation, or do you prefer to step away to avoid things going far? What are your experiences with arguments, and what have you learned from those experiences? Do you think being in an argument with others is healthy?
Everyone has an option, and we all sometimes want to be heard and win other people over to our point of view. This can sometimes lead to an argument.
I Wonder what these two cuties from unsplash could be arguing about lol 😂
It did not take me up to two days to realize that my former landlady wasn't someone I would want to get into an argument with. Once she thinks something, she always believes she is right without listening to the other party's opinion for possible consideration. For that, in our one year in her company, I always tried to avoid anything that would make me argue with her. Because if I didn't, she was always ready to drain the life out of me, and I was never made or ready for that. It is toxic and unhealthy for my mental health. I would just let her think whatever she wanted to think while I did what I knew was right. And that works for me to a large extent. She was someone I had to live close to for a while, so I did that to protect myself from unhealthy arguments.
I have come in contact with a few more people like her in the past, and the best thing I could do for my good was not let myself get into arguments with such people by setting some clear boundaries for them.
An argument can be good or bad, yes.
When two or more parties who are trying to pass along their points are not ready to listen to the other party's opinion, when such a person believes that only he or she is right and lets themselves be blinded by their thinking, it can lead to a bad argument, which is very toxic to building any form of relationship.
Good argument
When two or more people are sharing their opinions on any given topic, they do not just blindly believe that only their thinking is right; they are willing to listen to the other person's point of view in a respectful manner to come to an understanding. Such a scenario is a good argument.
The people involved are mature enough to know that they can be right and wrong, so they are willing to listen to the other party's opinion. This will foster the growth of any relationship, and not only that, but it can also provide a positive outcome since facts will be put on the table and everyone is willing to listen and learn from one another. I'm always willing to argue maturely with this type of person because I know that, at the end of the day, something positive can come out of it. Otherwise, I would walk away as far as I could.
What I do tell people is that not every situation or person deserves an argument or to be argued with. Sometimes it is just better to let it go and always try to set boundaries with people to avoid unnecessary arguments in the first place.
Setting boundaries with people to avoid unnecessary arguments and walking away from arguments that could lead to anger and resentment has always been my best pet. And this always saved me a lot of time and energy💯
Thank you so much for your time and attention, do have a lovely Sunday at your end.
