continuing means that something is happening in the present, and is still happening. Examples:
1. She continues to be rude to the customer.
2. She is continuing to be rude to the customer.
It's hard to explain haha. Both 1 and 2 are in the present but 2 more so than the other. 1 is more of a commentary or thought process of what is happening (like what's used in books) while 2 is in the moment, as if you were there and listening to 'her' be rude to the customer. does that help at all?

@cob thank you for the comment, but my question is not like this.
My question is, for example, what's the difference between she continues being rude to customers and she continue to be rude to customers. I've seen two types of the following word of continue to do or doing.

well "she continue" is grammatically incorrect, so that would be your answer haha. however, if you meant "she's continuing", the difference is that "she continues" is more of a general activity or action while "she's continuing" is what's happening right now and that it's continuous, there isn't an end. "she continues" insinuates that there is an eventual end while the -ing makes it unknown because it's in the "now". did that help?

What's the difference between two of them.
1. We want to continue to exchange ideas about it.
2. We want to continue exchanging ideas about it.

@paramus there's no difference in meaning and a little difference in connotation, but i don't know how else i could explain it. it's small though, so in this sense either are interchangeable

In present tense they are the same, but only “continue to-“ can be used in past or future as well.
Examples (present):
She continues to eat her lunch
She is continuing to eat her lunch
Examples (past):
She continued to eat her lunch
He continued to call 911
Examples (future):
She will continue to eat her lunch
He will continue to call 911
The final “continue” you might see is the adverb (describes a verb) - “continuously”. Which is the same no matter what tense the verb is in. Examples:
She continuously ate her lunch (past)
She is continuously calling 911 (present)
She will continuously see her friends this summer (future)
