I dunno. It all started when my mom wouldn't listen to me. Humans are such creatures of emotions, and I think that's the reason why my mom and I conflict with each other so much. Because while I can be emotional, I definitely don't let emotions rule me like she does. Just now, she called me the most arrogant person she knew, and I responded with "I doubt you actually think that. Psychology shows that things you say when angry or upset are far from what you actually mean." (This was exactly my response, give or take a word or two) and then she goes "Fine, too five, no contest." I can get along with my dad better when it comes to arguments because he's willing to "play along" as he puts it for a while, so at least there's some intelligent discussion, but because he's more prone to anger than I am, when he gets angry, he really gets angry. My biggest issue is that I apparently inadvertently disrespect them. I say things without getting into emotions (honestly because (as they put it) I want to be treated as an equal, which I don't really argue with), but I literally have no other way to talk with them. I just can't sit there and let any information be incorrect, but if I try go reach a conclusion of any sort or any kind of truth, they pin it as arguments and disrespect. I just don't know what else I can say.

Bro, if you want to go into detail on any of that with anyone, I'm here. I understand, because that coupled with ridiculous punishments has dominated my life since my parents got married.
