Unless you're a professional philosopher, in which case you should keep on going with your argument even if you don't like it. This, according to a formal philosophy professor, is a thing that happens--you start an argument and end up somewhere that you don't like but that's where the logic leads.
I often have discussions with myself, where I take stances that I utterly don't support, just to see how I would argue against them.
It helps with decision making, because earlier you believed something was true, but now you know for sure.
People need to have good faith dialogues with themselves more often, I don't think it's something most people do with any frequency or regularity. Easier just to occupy your internal monologue with a bunch of background noise, like a podcast or something.
That is really clever! I was proud of myself as an undergrad for having gone through the Practical Reasoning/Critical Thinking classes. You took it to another level.
