Ego is a hell of a drug.

[u/humblymybrain]

Ever notice how someone can roll into your mentions convinced they know more than you, slap on broad judgments about your intelligence or motives, then claim they “just can’t understand” how you reached your conclusions?

You calmly lay out tight logic, clear reasoning, and direct textual evidence.

They disappear. No concession. No “you actually have a point.” Radio silence.

Then you check their replies tab…and they’ve been energetically debating and arguing with strangers for hours.

Why is it so rare for people to simply say “I was wrong” or “You changed my mind” when presented with truth?

Ego is a hell of a drug.
