Family issues

So I want someones opinion on this, why do people constantly think you are arguing when you are literally just talking to them, or if that person says something and you disagree or say the opposite they say “i just wont stop”.

My mother and I were having a conversation about the upcoming election and while we both agree on a lot of issues, but this one. I’m not going to go into detail, but she wouldn’t listen and she kept saying im always arguing or she doesn’t want to argue, and that im not respecting her and that shes my mother. I was just trying to challenge her views even tho it may be an uncomfortable conversation. She says this almost every time we have are talk about a lot of topics and we disagree, she thinks im arguing when I’m just trying to have a conversation.

Honestly me and my dad use to be like this haha, but I’ve given him time to think about our “arguments”. And then we have the conversation. If one of starts to feel as we’re arguing instead of talking we end it. Hug and start a new topic of conversation haha I don’t know why one or the other feels like we’re arguing. But it happens. But changing subjects helps us reflect and then talk about it again in a better manner!

So was he, but I’d stop the conversation and tell him to think about what I said. We’d change topics and then we’d re visit the convention when he was ready, and it seems to go a lot better

some people just aren’t open to having open minded conversations and get defensive, especially about politics. Its honestly probably best to just not have those conversations with her

Honestly yeah, i don’t think she’s willing to be open minded about it. Which sucks. Its like I shouldn’t talk to her at all bc a lot of conversations end up going that route. Some aren’t about politics. But you’re right, something i will have to accept

Stop challenging her when she’s not receptive. You’re wasting her time and your own. She doesn’t want to engage in the conversation, so respect her and STOP.
