When you are talking to a friend or family member and you disagree about a subject, they may blurt out ”You’re wrong!”
You may find yourself annoyed that they aren’t listening to you or that they are so pig-headed they only see one side of an argument.
You have to decide if it is worth putting in the effort to change their mind. In life, you have to pick your battles about what you get wound up about and what you let go of.
If you want to let the person know you don’t agree and that they are actually the one who is wrong, use one of our clever comebacks and shut them up, at least temporarily.
Best comebacks when someone tells you that you’re wrong
1. NO. You’re wrong. So just sit there in you’re wrongness and be wrong.
2. Yes, your opinion matters. But not to me!
3. I see no point in arguing with you. You do a fine job of proving your complete ignorance on your own.
4. You’re entitled to your incorrect opinion.
5. I’m not wrong, I just see the world differently than you.
6. Just because someone has a different opinion than you doesn’t mean they are wrong.
7. I always respect your opinion, but on this one I respectfully disagree.
8. We’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
9. Really, I can see where you are coming from, but my perspective is a little different.

Wrong? The only thing I’m wrong about is being your friend. ?
OOH! Nice one!
Lol. Nice one!
I’m really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way.
Yesterday my opinionated, ignorant brother-in-law vehemently stated “You’re wrong!” My calm response, “That’s not appropriate.” He doubled up once again with “You’re wrong!!” I calmly doubled up again with “That is really not appropriate. How do you know you are right?” He shut up and backed off.
Well done. Brother in laws can be annoying!

Can someone help me?
So I had this class competition and I was absent
And by luck we just happened to win
So my friend said “WE WON WE WON”
Then later she whispered to me and said I WON
You didn’t win…
“I would agree with you but that would make us both wrong.”
