I feel like I’m the reasonable one, but I understand how I might come across as pompous by maintaining that position (I don’t know if it’s possible not to). I like to think about a hypothetical situation where a person was right all the time, and whether they would be penalised for that somehow. I’m not saying that’s the case, but it’s like these people leave no room for the possibility that maybe a person is just right consistently, or in a particular extended set of circumstances (that they’re challenging you on), and like they believe that you must be automatically wrong in every 2 or 3 cases or something like that.
Being right feels good no? Imagine being told your wrong all the time by the same person. Thats how they feel. Unless its a matter of life or limb, just let people be wrong sometimes.

Just because you are right, doesn’t mean you are relevant or the other person is wrong.
