hi!! im in a bit of a rut with my writing and since i get most of my writing advice from this account, do you have any tips for writing for arguments? it seems like an easy thing to write for, but as it turns out, writing good people as angry but not toxic-harmful is harder than it looks askjhjkas

Hi :)

How to write an argument

What is it about?

this can often be answered with one instance/one thing they argue about

but remember that most arguments have an underlying issue

something they actually fight about, something that made them angry or anxious enough to get into an argument, sometimes about small and unimportant things

in short: arguments are often proxy wars for other problems

toxic vs. non-toxic

when people are in extremely emotional situations they tend to act irrational and say things they normally wouldn't - the good and the bad ones

the differences between them:

a non-toxic person has a much higher threshold to saying things that deliberately hurts the other person, there would need to be extreme stress for them to do that

for a toxic person, this would come much more easier and quicker, they don't have to be provoked that much or at all to lash out

a non-toxic person would realize what they did immediately and feel genuinely bad about it, because hurting other people is not what they normally do and nothing they want to do; they would apologize very genuinely and they would know that the other person is definitely within their right to not accept that apology; they would give them their space and only try to make it up to them if the other person still wants them to be around

a toxic person would probably not feel bad, but within their own rights; if they apologize, it's more like an act involving gaslighting, telling the other person 'I'm sorry, but...' and basically faulting the other person for making them like that, for provoking them

Summary

people tend to not be their best self in an argument and much more controlled by emotions

there are often other underlying issues that suddenly come up in an argument, even if that argument wasn't originally about this topic

to keep it non-toxic, you could have your characters genuinely apologize and respect the other's wishes

they could also walk away from the argument to calm down and then come back later to rationally solve the issue

Hope this is helpful for you!

forbidden love prompts

"It would be better if you stayed away from me."

"Do you really want me? Or is this your way of getting back at my father?"

"This is wrong...But I don't want you to stop."

"There is no power in this world which can stop me from taking you away. All you have to do is say yes."

"Perhaps this is the end of our story."

"I wish there was a world which accepted our love."

"Why is this happening to us?"

"You have given me enough memories to last a lifetime."

"You are wrong on so many levels, but when I'm with you everything feels right."

"Will we ever meet again?" "Maybe in another life."

"Loving you has nothing to do with possessing you."

"If I ask you to kiss me in front of all these people, will you do it?"

"I have to go."

"I am here to tell you that I cannot meet you anymore."
