Stop Arguing on the Internet, It's a Bad Precedent
An unsolicited piece of advice I can give everyone, particularly the young ones in here: "Stop Arguing With People on The Internet". This was arguably one of those things that I always knew since my 20s, but is something I only practiced lately after learning how to let go of both my ego and temper.
IDK if there's anyone here like this, but I used to be the kind of person who would relentlessly argue over any specific topic or ideology I have strong opinions on, lasting in weeks to months. Every single day, I waste my time looking at my Socmed notifications to see if a particular recipient is still arguing back. The cycle continued until replies stopped. All this just to satisfy my ego.
The end result is me always being overstimulated and drained every single day to the point that I'm neglecting my duties and responsibilities.
Note: One thing that helps is deleting the notifications of any ongoing arguments in whatever Socmed you're arguing on. Better yet, block the recipient to end it.
