7 Manipulative Ways People Use to Win Any Arguments
---------------------------------------------
7. Silence.
Sit in quiet for a long, uncomfortable
moment Whenever someone says anything
stupid or makes an unreasonable request.
People start second-guessing everything
and revealing the stupid things they have
done that got them to this point.
---------------------------------------------
6. Storytelling goes hand in hand
with empathy and puts data to support
your argument in context.
Create a compelling story using
empathy
.facts
emotions
When your point seems part of a
narrative arc, each aspect of what you're
arguing is harder to pick on.
---------------------------------------------
5. If you know you're right, but someone
is doing their best t argue with you, say
something like,
"Yeah.I know you are smart enough to
understand that it is X"
They feel like they will look stupid if they
keep trying to argue Y.
---------------------------------------------
4. Give them a sincere compliment.
If someone yells at you for no specific
reason.
Make it an absolute priority to ask how
their day was going or compliment
them.
Sometimes when a person acts out
against you, it's because they had a bad
day or are hurt.
Show them you care, and you may
change their entire outlook.
Holding a Grudge is Bad for Your Health.
---------------------------------------------
3. When they want to fight, remain
calm & agree with them.
It frustrates them that they can't rile
you up & essentially exposes them for
being an aggressor/manipulator.
---------------------------------------------
2. While having a conversation with
someone, stare at their forehead
between and slightly above the eye-line.
It throws them off their game, and
they have a harder time lying to you or
trying to influence you.
---------------------------------------------
1. Confusing people is always the
best strategy.
If someone is yelling?
Ask them if they want sand.
Comfort them, then say in a calm voice,
"'Do you want some sand?"
Works every time.
