Would probably help to let go of these attachments, and you'll probably see the intensity and quantity of your arguments diminishing.

Living consciously already means going against the majority of the world and getting heaps of criticism, so I think you can already handle making your own decisions despite criticism. It's just a matter of seeing arguments as pointless and letting them go
I agree, most people are enormously attached to there side of the argument. If you want to convince anybody they first need to feel understood or else they won't even listen to you. So the first step is SO incredibly important, LISTEN before you talk.
