How do you stop arguing with people on social media? (lemmy.world)

Whenever I see a comment on social media that I think is wrong, I feel the need to correct it. These arguments can go on for days, even weeks, and if I don’t win the argument, I get overly fixated on it, wondering where I went wrong and so on.

Disagree with the point not the person. And remember the person you're arguing with is one person while there are a hundred on the sidelines thinking that acting like assholes precludes making good points.

I've been there, my friend. I can't say I never disagree with anyone — I certainly can't say that. But I rarely argue. It is a learnable skill.
