Having faced different types of people, I can say that most of them always want to be right and want to feel like they have won an argument. When they have different ideas/perspectives, they don't want to consider what the other is saying, but want the other party to change their mind. If they got proven wrong, they take it personally and try to get back in any way they can, no matter how petty. I used to try to reason with them before, and I would get frustrated when they try to twist everything just to make it work to their narrative. But now, I soon as I know they're like that, I just end the conversation and walk away. No point wasting my time with them.
I like what you say here, as soon as you identify the personality type and find it unacceptable you walk away. Best thing to do!
Life is too short to spend any of it fussing with assholes like that.
I agree. I've already tried multiple times, and I always ended up frustrated. I've learned my lesson.
Sometimes they need the hammer dropped and I'm happy to do it, but mostly ignoring them is the best way, it tends to infuriate them.
