If this is representative of your usual conversation style, then everyone above a certain level of competence will correctly infer that they should avoid you.

I used to think I could change them.
This is a difficult skill. The first step, if you truly want to change someone, is to establish mutual respect. If they think you don’t like them, they will resist all attempts to influence them. This is definitely the right strategic move on their part, and even if they don’t think about strategy at all, their instincts and emotions will guide them to it. If you think that you should be able to convince people of things, with this style of writing or this style of writing translated into speech, then you have misunderstood the nature of social interaction and you need to study the basics with the humility of a beginner.
Mate, you can argument by assertion fallacy your opinions all you want but it appears to me that my opinions are correct, and that all conceivable dissenting opinions are incorrect, and I can explain why. If pure logic cannot convince others to think like me then does it not mean that the only way to have them conform to what I want them to is by compromising the integrity of my beliefs, and attempting to effect them via playing with their emotionality directly? That is irrational behavior. I would rather be correct and affirm my superiority the right way than try to manipulate people irrationally because my rhetoric will fall on deaf ears.
