Sad Realization time.
So. You ever argue with a parent who says they're right, even you know they're wrong & they not alone keep saying they're right, but that you're wrong and you need to stop being stupid? Yeah... that's me and my dad. Over almost every topic we discuss now, we argue. Why? Because he says something that isn't quite right. So I correct him. Sometimes I'm right. Sometimes I'm wrong. But sometimes... It escalates. VERY BIG. Why? Because I know what I'm talking about. Because, for once it seems like, I know something he doesn't & can teach and explain to him. But no. I'm wrong. The argument that sparked this? My dad saying a friend of his bought an "Xbox Kinect" for his daughter, saying it is its own system, with its own games, that it was supposed to be this newer thing than the Xbox 360. I tried to tell him its a peripheral, an add-on, & that it needs the 360 to play. He kept saying I was wrong. We got angry and heated about this, he even said I was using "Peripheral" wrong! So, we decided to stop. We get home, I look this up & prove him wrong but yet he won't admit & he keeps saying that there was an Xbox 360 with the Kinect built-in. But there wasn't. He gets upset I get so driven about this stuff, but not towards where it really counts. I wish I did. But I don't. Why? Because I'm tired of being wrong. Of messing up. Of losing my arguments and never knowing what I'm saying. Especially with him, who always says I'm wrong and that I'm being stupid when we argue. Who will NEVER tell me after a big argument that I'm right. And he's wrong. I can't put this drive towards my driver's license. No one can help me. They say "Driving School, we can't help" when I DON'T WANNA PAY THAT MONEY. JUST HELP ME. And- *sighs* ... The main point is just. I'm not wrong... I'm not an idiot. I can hold my own. But when your opinion won't bend to someone who knows what they're talking about. You make the person who is right feel like an idiot. & the WORST part is. I can be like that. I get it from him. & I hate it. I try to listen when I realize it. But I still do it...
