RVM not keeping ruby version

I have to keep setting my ruby version. How to I make sure RVM keeps the version I need?

When I do rvm list, I get:

   ruby-2.1.0 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.1.2 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.4.4 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.5.1 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.5.2 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.5.3 [ x86_64 ]
   ruby-2.6.1 [ x86_64 ]
=> ruby-2.6.3 [ x86_64 ]
 * ruby-2.6.5 [ x86_64 ]

So then I do rvm use 2.6.5 and it changes to 2.6.5, but as soon as I close and open the terminal again, I whichs back to 2.6.3. What am I doing wrong? I set the default 2.6.5, it just does not seem to listen.

EDIT: As OP stated, they were correctly setting the default but having it overriden by a .ruby-version file, see above and ignore below

You're telling RVM to use 2.6.5, not setting it as the default.

Try:

rvm --default use 2.6.5

See "The Basics of RVM" for more information.

In the rvm list we clearly see the default is set correctly (marked with the asterisk), so check your current folder for the presence of a .rvmrc or .ruby-version file which will overrule the rvm default version.
