What type of personality disorder is it when someone feels the need to argue about meaningless issues?!


Question: What type of personality disorder is it when someone feels the need to argue about meaningless issues.?
I'm talking about someone who gets a false sense of strength and confidence by being argumentative and annoying others by being contrary for no reason.

My guess is that their continuous arguing hides the fact that they lack intelligence and substance, and it also hides how deeply insecure they are.

These types are obviously mentally ill, and I avoid them when I can. When you are forced to work with them though, what are they best responses to tell them when they launch into one of their delusions.? also, which personality disorder or other diagnosis would describe them.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
One answer is paranoia but the other is they have too much time on their hands to think about nonsense.

Another answer is they are grown up unhappy or they are not happy in their personal lives.

When a person becomes happy in their personal life you and them will notice a change for the better. It's sad but true.Health Question & Answer

Well if they argue about meaningless things, it may not necessarily show a lack of intelligence or anything like that, it could possibly just be general boredom with life like a few people I know. However they're not the type who care about winning, they enjoy the discussion. When you talk to one of those types who likes to win I suppose the best thing would be to just let them win. Otherwise you're stuck with them going on for a much longer time.Health Question & Answer

Well it's just plain insecurity or them being an ***.
But it could be Narcissism if it's extreme, but I doubt it.
Possibly Bipolar.
Narcissists are in fact extremely clever so I again doubt it's that.


If they try to argue with you just say right at the start, really sarcastically, REALLY, wow you're so right, that is so clever and make them feel stupid, all the while faking niceness and being impresed (but in an obviously insincere way) This will get to them. Cut them off and ignore them basically.Health Question & Answer
