I have trouble being corrected because I’m sensitive to what feels like rejection but logically I appreciate the correction and I wouldn’t still say I was right after being corrected

someone just called me dumb when i told them antibacterial soap isn’t necessary and has serious downsides. i can understand not wanting to change something that works for you, sure. but straight up insulting me when i’m right is wild. i do not understand that at all. i love it when people give me information i didnt have before for free

Can you explain the antibacterial soap thing to me? I’m really interested now

regular soap works by washing away bacteria and it’s all you need in combination with mechanical scrubbing. antibacterial soap contributes to bacterial resistance which is a serious problem

that’s totally understandable. being corrected definitely stings and at the same time i’m thankful someone took the time to give me information they think is important
