I'm Not Arguing; I'm Just Explaining Why I'm Right As an individual who is constantly bombarded with information from various sources, it's hard to keep track of what's true and what's not. This is why I think it's crucial for people to be more discerning when consuming news and other forms of media. I've been in many conversations where someone will say something that sounds ridiculous, and then they'll claim that they're just "explaining" their point of view. But the truth is, they're not explaining; they're arguing. And if you call them out on it, they'll get defensive and claim that you're being close-minded. I've had to deal with this kind of thing a lot in my life, and I've learned how to spot it when someone is just trying to argue rather than have a genuine discussion. It's not always easy, but it's essential for maintaining a healthy and productive dialogue. When someone says "I'm not arguing; I'm just explaining why I'm right," they're usually just trying to deflect criticism or avoid admitting that they're wrong. And if you let them get away with it, you'll never be able to have an honest conversation about anything. So the next time you find yourself in a situation like this, take a step back and assess the situation objectively. Ask yourself if the person is genuinely trying to explain their point of view or if they're just trying to justify their own biases. And if it's the latter, don't be afraid to call them out on it. In the end, being able to distinguish between an argument and a genuine explanation is crucial for building strong relationships and having meaningful conversations. It takes practice, but with time and patience, you'll become better at recognizing when someone is just trying to argue rather than explain.
