Argue With It or Let It Pass

Tell apart the thoughts worth answering from the ones that only want a fight.

Purpose: Tell apart the thoughts worth answering from the ones that only want a fight.

When to use: Use this when you have spent an evening arguing in your own head.

Worksheet prompts

  1. Sort the ones you know well.
  2. How can you tell the difference between the two, for you?
  3. What does letting one pass actually look like?
    Naming it, going back to what you were doing, not finishing the argument.

Not answering is a choice too, and often the cheaper one.
