As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more and more fine with just leaving an internet argument. The *other guy is winning* feeling is 95% gone.
Now, that doesn’t mean I won’t make a comment or two, but if the other person wants to get into a back and forth that seems like it’s going to be draining I’m completely fine with just not participating anymore.
All this to say is that maybe it’ll get easier for some?
(FWIW, I’m ~40 and I’ve been arguing on the internet since I was 12-ish)
