I only do this when I’m reasonably sure we disagree and it will potentially start an argument. I enjoy explaining things to people and figuring out how to get them to understand. It’s communication skills, and I practice them frequently.
Biting my tongue, though, is so so so hard. Very worth it, especially in public, but so so hard.

I do this mostly/only with customers and some co-workers but if you’re my friend/loved family member and your ignorance can lead you away from virtue, you’re getting an earful (and you better be grateful I took my time to educate you, as I would’ve been had you done the same for me).

The opposite actually, it’s the only way to avoid unnecessary clashes because some people have temper tantrums when their half-baked ideology is challenged. 🤷
