Arguin with peoplez online over thingz, especially politics. I am still a very political person who writes and talks about political/social justice topics in real life and occasionally makez posts about political subjectz online, but arguin with right wingerz in randum comment sections was hurtin mah mental health. It was when I started to truly listen to the perspectives of people in marginalized communities apart frum mah own, started challenging mah own internal biases, and began 2 read more books about social justice issues and politics that I began to grow as a person. Arguin with peoplez online may seem like a good thing in the moment, but in the long run it doesn't really get you anywhere. All it does is make you feel as though your thoughts and opinions are worthless. Even if you provide the person you are arguin with with factz, they will ignore those factz. Arguin with peoplez constantly can make life quite miserable foar both yourself and the peoplez around you. Doin that can make it harder foar you to actually hold a conversation about important topicz in real life as well.
Here is this post without all the scene lingo:
