Not every conversation is worth having, because not every person is willing to converse reasonably. It is foolish to hold a conversation with a fool. Other proverbs note how some people sneer at what they don't understand and respond to other views with anger (Proverbs 9:7; 22:10). You don't have to attend every argument you're invited to. Ignore those who try to still your joy. Their lives is full of strife. Your life is full of purpose.
