How to Stop Proving You're Right (Even When You Are)
Briefly

People believe there's one reality, but there are 8.2 billion different versions of reality being lived simultaneously. Each person firmly believes theirs is the ultimate truth.
The fight to be right often stems from a need to be heard, respected, and validated. Proving your version of reality gives a sense of justification and importance.
Getting caught arguing about trivial matters reveals our tendency to desire validation more than correctness, often leading to ridiculous confrontations while losing sight of the bigger picture.
To escape the cycle of needing to be right, start by taking a deep breath and acknowledging your feelings. Compassion towards oneself helps in breaking the urge.
