I'm not one to hold grudges if there is an argument it's just not in my nature and I don't like conflict anyway.

5 points for I don't argue with people I'm close to.

Does divorce count??? lol

Just a silly fight with my partner ,but we always make up

Rather than treating her mental health issues one friend kept calling me and threatening suicide if things didn’t go her way. It was so draining. I had to cut ties.

7 stopped regular talking and only say a few words at a time infrequently

I stopped talking to my neighbor cause she kept lying to me, and more.

My husband didn’t talk to me for about a whole weekend lol

I don't need an argument to cut ties with idiots. As you proceed thru life, if you're awake, aware and observant, you will see certain types of people who SEEM to have so many friends, etc. Truth is, those people are usually the most lost themselves because they have so many meaningless connections to so many people, which "spreads them thin" as it is, but, the most important person they have ZERO connection with is THEMSELF. Some of the most LONELY people are those who make it SEEM like they have so many friends, are so busy all the time, etc.; while the ones who FOUND themself, who KNOW who they actually are...they have a couple of actual friends and are the most happy and have no clue what loneliness is. I began the great culling around 2010. I just said enough was enough...and started deleting people off FAKEBOOK. Round after round of cuts occurred. Ended up with about 100 people...friends, family, etc. But, then I realized that most of THESE were meaningless as well. Needless to say I got RID of FAKEBOOK entirely as of 2017. All things like that have done, along with other "anti"social media, has caused people to suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder...be "different" people online than they are in actual life...people make multiple different accounts..and so on. All I can say is you should NEVER need an argument to cut someone out of your life who is NOT in it for the right reasons....family included. You owe NOTHING to NOBODY, but you DO owe it to yourself to FIND yourself, to KNOW who you are, and to live as authentic as possible for how you want to live. We chose to come here, most do not grasp that though. So, why be a copy of a copy of a copy like most everyone else is? Cultivate the life you want, and WHO is in it is a massive determining factor as to how peaceful it is.

Yes two?? there not worth 2 cents

4 points better than nothing and when people argue with me I don't forgive because it causes me nothing but emotional and physical stress

4 points

5pts Yes, and we never made up

1 pt. No I always try to resolve things quickly and not let it linger on.

4 for resolution

We get heated BUT never get to the No Speaks and simply Agree to Differ, and move on to the next subject.

I've had words with people but never broken up, but have had snotty people never see me again after being a friend for years.

Learnt decades ago that anger achieves nothing, doesnt help anyone and can destroy self. Glad I learnt that lesson.

I find it difficult to stay angry long enough so all our battles are a flash in the pan

Yes, once. With an abusive co -worker. I told her to never speak to me that way again. She eventually quit her job to the relief of many in the office. We never did speak to each other again.

No. I moved on from abusive friendship when she told me I have rotten teeth and told me I would keep coming back for more abuse. That was a wake up call. I cut my ties. Have not spoken to her in more than a year and my life is by far more peaceful.

7. it happens all the time. Now consider what are we going to say to our Neo robots if they say something hurtfull we can't stop talking to it. And if it realizes it said something hurtfull it might just start to take advantage of it, and say hurtfull things more often.

I usualyy let things cool for a day or less and then resume talking.

Yes sometimes it’s hurting to think about unrealistic expectations from loved ones which ideally should be argued over. However given the future relationship constraints over arguments, I think it’s far better to keep quiet about it. If not I can be the one at fault after not having any faults with my argument ??????

Sometimes people can say hurtful things without realizing it. What bothers me is when they don't understand what they said was hurtful

4 PTS......

Yes

Nice

yes

4pts close people should be able to agree to disagree.

the only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it i learned that a long time ago, I don't need to be right, stupid always sorts itself out i know because I have done some stupid stuff

I don't argue with people I’m close to. just walk away and leave them wondering if that counts as a "win" to them!!

Yes but then move on past it

6 points for YES, my niece, when my sister, her mom, had pneumonia, and was in the hospital dying, all that woman cared about was MONEY! ;-O

I haven't spoken to my daughter for over 10 years nor has she spoken to her brothers. She was always a tough one to be around even at age 2 but in the end I just shut down from her. I can never forgive her for the things she said and did and it is not a grudge or a sulk it is looking after my own mental health. The stress has gone and I am much happier. I know it is a shame it ended up this way but sometimes you just have to walk away. I do not like arguments and I never argue anyway.

Yes, but it's only temporary.

Yes . Better not to say anything at times than to speak isn't it? Haven't spoken to the ex for 28yrs now. Lovin it! Taurus - how long can they hold a grudge for ? Until you're dead and then after that as well! Edited 13-Apr-25 01:07am

I don't argue with people I'm close to - I take my 'few' friends for what they are - NOT for what I want them to be.

Sadly,...my mother...She said some nasty things about my wife and I hung up the phone in anger. I'm ashamed to say I didn't try again for a few weeks. I regret the entire incident. My mother "raised me better than that!"
