Using Fallacies


I can’t pin point an exact argument at this time about when I used fallacies, but I know for a fact I have used them to try to prove my point. I am a very stubborn person so I think I am right even when I know I am wrong.  I know that I use information that is either not true or I twist the truth about whatever the point is I am trying to make. When I am arguing with my boyfriend, I try to pull the pity card to make him feel sorry for me and then he will agree with what I say. Sometime doing stuff like this works and other times it doesn’t. I am sure I start “attacking the speaker” when they are telling me something I don’t think it right. I will tell them that they don’t know what they are talking about and so on and so forth. After I think about how I am when I am arguing, I wouldn’t want to argue with someone like myself. I would just give up and let that person think they are right all the time because it would be a waste of my time. Now I might start to think more about what I am saying before try to prove my point.
