I think I have a problem.

Abba Zabba

I think I have a problem.

It might sound a bit dramatic, but I think I have anger issues. I’m not totally crazy but when it comes to differences of opinion I have this thing (I think) where I hate being wrong, and if I am found out to be wrong about something I take it personally and have a hard time letting it go. I’m one of these people that takes pride in winning in arguments and debates, so when it doesn’t happen, I start acting irrationally and get angry very easily. And not only that, but I tend to bottle things up and bring up past conversations and arguments and rehashing these things to make me seem right somehow.

Tell me if this is normal, or if I do indeed have a problem. I’d love to be one of these people that doesn’t have a problem with being wrong and being able to admit fault without feeling inferior in some way. How can I get over this?

My mother and sister have this problem, they always have to be right and have it worse than other people.
In the end it depends on how far your willing to let this happen. It doesn’t help you emotionally or physically
Get help with talking to someone you trust and maybe just lose an arguement occasionally, it feels good sometimes to let things go

Thanks happydays. Yeah I definitely agree, I mean right now I have a headache because I’ve just been in yet another argument with a long-time friend of mine because I get so riled up about the silliest things sometimes. I just don’t know how to give up though, especially in an argument. I find it hard to admit defeat.

Its funny how its always the little things that cause the headaches. If you lety things go you can have the smug feeling knowing that your right which does feel good. My sister always has to win an arguement and i let her win because i know that i can look down on her knowing that she is wrong and will only be sad as she is because she will lose ultimately in the end

Try finding the humor in life when it seems like it’s getting too serious. I lost my car, my kids mother left me and our 2 kids for a body builder, I have a ******** of homework due tomorrow, I have no money, I wrecked my car and I ride a bike all the way to college, I lost my job, I think I have a dormant std but the doctors said im fine, my kids said they want to live with their mother and the steroid man, I battle anxiety and depression, I wanted to die 6 mins ago, I currently want to live forever, I yelled at my mother for being so horny that she screwed my loser father thus creating the horrible world I reside in, I patched things up only to get into another argument because she said i’m a male version of her and I hate her temperament, oh my gawd this place sucks and we have a limited amount of time to figure out how to get past learned habits that have already consumed a large portion of our lives, only to hope we can sustain whatever new behavior we may adopt long enough to remain positive for the duration of our lives, but what if something else catatrophic happens? What the **** am I typing all this for??! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH LMAO…

Honestly it’s a problem and you need to sort it out

i know people like you and all this type of behaviour, especially the always needing to be right aspect, does is alienate people

You don’t want to end up being that person that eople tiptoe around
