How to win arguments without losing friends
Perhaps you’re arguing with someone, or perhaps you’re
on the other side of
the debate, but either way, it doesn’t have to be a death judgment for your relationship.
The first thing you want to do is understand that there are no perfect arguments.
Indeed if you differ with what someone differently is trying to say, they still have a right to
their opinion, which means they also have a right to be heard. When you differ with
someone, it doesn’t mean that you have to take down their right to speak. It means that you have a differing point of view, and this is impeccably okay.
Indeed though my opinion isn't going to be accepted by everyone, it's still
. just an opinion.
And I'm still suitable to express my views because
there's no
right or wrong answer regarding opinions.
The same concept applies
to an argument. If you differ with someone’s opinion,
there's nothing wrong with expressing your own opinions and giving them the chance to hear yours.
It may be uncomfortable at first, but over time people
will appreciate your sweats.
Some ways to win the argument without losing friends are
• Keep your clam
• Avoid Sarcasm & Blame
• Build Your Case
• Ask Comfort or Solution first?
• Listen while they Speak
• Applaud Strong (er) Points of Contention
• Agree to Disagree
