Haven’t we all been there, caught up in a heated argument where you truly believe you are in the right. It’s the worst when neither side can back down. This happens with siblings, parents, and even friends. These arguments often go round in circles, with a constant back and forth like a game of tennis. Some close friendships, and immediate relationships, can overcome these argumental barriers and let the disagreements fizzle out. However, not all relationships can get past these issues.
“I’m right, you are wrong and that’s ok”:
One of the latest trends on TikTok is the concept of “I’m right you are wrong, and that’s ok” This trend is helping young people, friends, family, and couples to communicate better. The idea is simple: when two people find themselves stuck in an argument that appears to have no resolution this approach can help break the cycle.
How it works:
Both people stand up and look each other straight in the eyes. Then, at the same time, say, “I’m right, you’re wrong, and that’s okay.” After you say the phrase, check in with each other—if you both feel like the disagreement is settled, hug each other.
This trend could make a big impact, especially for Gen Z. With all the social media noise and negativity floating around, it’s refreshing to see something focused on spreading kindness and sending a positive message to the younger generation. Plus, there’s a funny side to it, too—just hop on TikTok, and you’ll find tons of skits playing with this trend. On a more serious note, the humor isn’t just in the skits. I mean, watching two friends, a couple, or family members staring each other down and saying, “I’m right, you’re wrong, and that’s okay” is pretty amusing in itself. So why not give it a shot (in the right situations) and see for yourself?
So next time you find yourself in one of those frustrating arguments where you’re absolutely sure you’re right but the other person feels the same way, try this out. It might seem a bit random and quirky at first, but trust me, it can really make a difference. The idea is to step back from the heat of the moment and introduce a bit of humor and lightness into the situation. The randomness of it all can actually help break the tension and make both sides more open to finding common ground. Plus, seeing the humor in it can remind everyone that sometimes it’s okay to just agree to disagree and move on. If it helps to smooth things over and bring a bit of peace, it’s definitely worth a shot!
