What bothers you and why?

First, when someone is argumentative

Second, when the other person falls for it.

It is such a waste of time to argue with someone who is purposely trying to rob you of your peace of mind.

From experience and speaking with others here are some key things that a person might start an argument with you.

• They feel worthless, inferior, and unworthy. Whatever you show—your kindness, your smile, how you carry yourself, your charisma—they dislike it. And there’s nothing you can do about it. They do not like you, and nothing you say or do will change that. They couldn’t care less how you feel. It doesn’t matter to them. Therefore, these are the people you should either avoid like the plague or have minimal contact with because they will try to pick an argument or fight with you.

• Some people come from a drama-filled environment. They woke up to drama as children and went to sleep with it. That’s all they know. So when they become adults, if they haven’t addressed or seen it as a problem, many unnecessary arguments and disagreements will occur.
• Sometimes, it’s just plain jealousy and envy. They may secretly or openly dislike you. The problem with jealousy and envy is that they can take many forms, like resentment, controlling behavior, minimizing your achievements, copying, and other negative actions.

If you’re aware of the signs when someone picks a fight with you, you can better prepare especially if it comes out of nowhere or you feel you are being picked on continuously by this person.

Try not to take it so personally and understand that most of the time, it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with their insecurities.

I know we can’t avoid all disagreements or confrontations. However, we must recognize when someone tries to take our peace, especially when they intentionally are trying to hurt us.

Because these attacks are meant to distract us, which interferes with what God has planned for us.

Grace and peace
