How to Win an Argument
You may have noticed that some people, even if their argument lacks logic, manage to win and persuade others. This is a skill that not everyone is endowed with. To be like them, there are a few secrets we’ll reveal as you scroll down. With these tips, you should be able to win that argument!
Be confident
To begin, be confident even if you know you aren’t. Stay calm and collected because only those who are wrong get worked up.
Facts
Make certain that your facts are correct. Do not engage in an argument unless it is supported by logic and evidence. You end up looking like a moron!
Controlling the discussion
To master an argument, you must be the one in charge of the conversation. To do so, you must ask questions. Cross-examination is more like it. Pose hypothetical questions to make your opponent think. Provoke him/her, but do so calmly and without being too obvious.
Be a good listener
It is essential to be a good listener in any situation. Don’t expect the conversation to devolve into an argument. First, pay attention to the other person’s point of view. Maybe they’re about to say the same thing you’re about to say. Perhaps they have a more eloquent point of view or piece of information.
