14. Never Argue With Someone Who Believes Their Own Lies.
The saying “Never argue with someone who believes their own lies” suggests that it’s often futile to try to reason with someone who is convinced of their own false beliefs or lies. This person may be so entrenched in their own perspective that they are unwilling or unable to consider alternative viewpoints or evidence.
Engaging in an argument with such a person can be frustrating, as it often leads to a cycle of circular reasoning and defensive posturing. It’s unlikely that any amount of evidence or logical reasoning will convince the person to change their mind, as they are already committed to their own false beliefs.
Instead of engaging in an argument, it may be more productive to simply disengage and move on. Continuing to argue with someone who believes their own lies can be emotionally draining and can even perpetuate the false beliefs by giving them more attention and legitimacy.

It’s important to remember that we cannot control the beliefs or actions of others, and that ultimately, the responsibility for changing false beliefs lies with the individual themselves. While it can be frustrating to witness someone hold onto false beliefs, it’s important to focus on our own beliefs and values, and to prioritize our own well-being and mental health.
In situations where it’s necessary to confront a person who is spreading harmful misinformation or lies, it’s important to do so in a calm and factual manner, without engaging in an argument or personal attacks. It’s also important to recognize when it’s necessary to disengage and seek support from others, such as trusted friends, family members, or mental health professionals.
