Whenever I see a comment on social media that I think is wrong, I feel the need to correct it. These arguments can go on for days, even weeks, and if I don’t win the argument, I get overly fixated on it, wondering where I went wrong and so on.

It’s okay with me if people are wrong. I disagree with everyone on at least one thing, I find, if I talk to them for more than a few minutes.
You could try this–offer your correction, and then never look at the thread again. Disengage. You’ve done all you can do, let it go. Eventually, you WILL get to that point, so get there quickly and on your terms.
It’s okay if people are wrong, and a lot of people are.
If you really can’t control yourself, then you might benefit from therapy.
