What was it about? Did you admit you were wrong or adamantly insist on your point? How did your interlocutor react? How would you like someone to react if you concede errors?

    Oh yeah. Happens to me not infrequently, though less as I get older and choose my battles more wisely.

    On my best days, I apologize and bow out of the discussion. On my worst days, I just ghost the entire thread.

      Choosing your battles wisely seems to be good advice. I think it’s a good quality, if people can concede if they were wrong. I hsbe the impression that being wrong is too often sanctioned or frowned upon, whereas a more accepting, forgiving stance might make it easier for people to admit their errors.
