    “I know you are but what am I” is not an effective form of debate. nor is:

    Ad hominem

    Ad hominem (Latin for ‘to the person’), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a term that refers to several types of arguments, most of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion to some irrelevant but often highly charged issue. The most common form of this fallacy is “A makes a claim x, B asserts that A holds a property that is unwelcome, and hence B concludes that argument x is wrong”.

        it no surprise that you cannot see the relevance when your argument depends on your inability to see it.

            your lack of comprehension is not my responsibility.

                I am not responsible for your psychological projection either. I would point out that you’re the one who keeps returning to an interaction you find frustrating and unsatisfying expecting different results, and blaming me because I won’t give you the answers you want.

                  I think you might be a happier person if you learned to engage with people honestly.

                  It might even resolve your issue with your relationships!
