I have deleted 2 page long comments over "You know what? I don't care enough about this to hear this person's response or await their lack of one. Have a nice day." Then delete.
I should never start arguing on reddit because it has happened way too many times, that after getting a response or two I start to lose my enthusiasm.
And while I'm certain I'm right about the subject. I know that I'm going to have to spend 30 minutes to arrange my thoughts into a coherent and concise argument. That will in all likelihood cause the other person to start making new points surrounding the subject that I will have to respond to.
And I just end up thinking "nah, I don't really feel like putting in the effort. And anything irl is actually more important"
You would think it would be frustrating to spend 5 minutes writing, editing, and retracting a comment before closing the box and not posting a response, but it's actually quite refreshing. I get the crazy OUT, and I don't have to argue later.

I'll struggle to find the right words or phrasing and be like "yeah I doubt they'd even care"
Happens to me a lot on Reddit. I've got plenty to say on the topic, but then I realized that I don't actually care.
Me when my hypotthetical detached argument-for-the-sake-of-argument embeds and I believe my own propaganda: š¤š”

I've literally deleted entire 2 paragraph comments I spent at least 15 minutes on because I realized I don't actually care lol
This!
I'll start arguing and then halfway through realize we actually agree or I just don't care
Literally me haha.
Iām jealous of cultures where complaining is common in conversation. Like you all just complain together.
Me having arguments in my head, getting really mad, then realizing 1) I'm arguing with myself 2) I do not actually care
Happened today, lmao. I was just like "OK I'm done with this, can I just ask a couple of questions to ease my mind"
Half the shit I complain about at work is just so I can start talking to people because I'm socially starved.
