When you try to argue with people who have no intent of hearing you, you are fighting a battle you cannot win. No, of course you don’t want to give up on anyone, but eventually you have to realize that all of the stress and energy you pour into trying to convince someone to think a way that they refuse to—even if it would be better for them long-term—is just your own energy wasted. If someone isn’t willing to change, they aren’t going to change, and nothing you say or do will amend that.
