Not long ago I got into an argument with a close friend of mine about an opinion we shared. I gave him my viewpoints, and he shared his. Unfortunately he enjoys debating so he tried refuting my statements. Problem is, he was brining up statements that had nothing to do with my original view points.Long story short, the entire "discussion" was based around him bringing up general statements about one thing, and me reiterating my statements about the other. The conversation wasn't going ANYWHERE and it was getting to the point where I was getting annoyed beyond reason.
You know when you're talking about something, and you constantly repeat yourself over and over again to the point where you have a headache, but the other person is constantly coming up with ways to disarm your statements? Its like that. The conversation was senseless and it reinforced the reason why I try to avoid certain topics with certain people.
Can someone please share insight on what was the reason for the entire discussion? What were his motives. I literally felt like I was arguing over something that was pointless and he purposefully tried to start a senseless debate.
Basically I would like to know what his motives were. And why he had those motives in the first place. This is a recurring theme in our friendship. He always feels the need to argue about something and in the end he would come up with random statements just to have a "response", even when they are irrelevant..
