I'm addicted to arguing with people online and it causes me a non-insignificant amount of distress. It's pointless. I don't think I've ever "changed someone's mind" on anything. Whether it's because I'm just bad at debating or I'm always talking to brick walls it's just fruitless. I really need to stop doing it.

@beardalaxy
I'm exactly the same way, but I did once manage to change someone's mind on a very important topic about politics - although he didn't acknowledge it.
Knowing that I will never again accomplish such a feat has given me some closure.

@Hephaestic i've only ever really been able to have a good back-and-forth in person, never online.
