Inconsistency
In the modern-day, a lot of issues are being discussed over social media instead of actual debate sessions. Ironically, this means that a lot of irrational debate is already at the brim. Often your opponent backtracks and deviates from the main topic. If you catch someone contradicting their previous saying, accuse cite them of being “inconsistent”. This will make them lose out on an argument naturally.
Foundation
“Women are not meant to do everything which men can do” or “Why haven’t you still got settled in life at this age?”. The moment you hear such things which can fire a head-on collision, ask the premise or the base of their argument. Ask them why they feel that and what facts can they show to prove. Trust, you are already halfway winner through the argument.
Generalisation
“Non-religious people can’t live a happy life” – We often hear such statements flying around. “People of this region are always like this” – another general statement triggering arguments. The moment your opponent gets into such an argument with a general statement, make them realise that they are being too “general” in their arguments. use the word “generalization” to knock them down. A common trait representing a herd by a majority cannot judge every single individual of that group.
Incompetency
Does your partner doubt each of your moves? Even when you are true to yourself and clear about your intentions, do you often have to give an explanation to him/her leading to arguments? Well, this is what Sarah had to say where she has to unnecessarily end in arguments to prove her point. Likewise, you will often find people arguing with you in illogical ways apart from relationships as well. Highlight his/her “incompetency” to make your opponent feel they don’t have the necessary skills to carry out a discussion successfully.
Escaping
An argument catches more ire when someone tries to evade using trickery. Oftentimes, your opponent knows he/she is wrong and that’s when they will try dodging the questions. Using tricks is a completely lame way to win an argument. The moment your opponent tries to do the same using tricks, use the word “escapist” to make them understand that they are “escaping” – it is a very powerful word to topple his/her down.
Silence
You may even use a stronger word to win an argument than the above-mentioned powerful words – that is SILENCE.
Sometimes silence is the most effective way. After your opponent has said enough, stop right away and walk away. Use this tactic after making a powerful statement and when you see your partner in an argument is attempting to bluster her/his way out. That’s where your silence will speak a thousand words. The magic is to know when to fall silent – that very moment.
7. Be at balance
You might be super down during the argument, however, keeping calm is the key. Do not lose your control as it will just heighten the argument. Holding your composure is something that many people can’t do, especially in the heat of the moment. You might be treated in a miserable way during an argument by your opponents only when they feel that you are true and they are not able to match up to you. That’s when people usually take the recourse to blame you, mistreat you. Maintain the innate balance within you throughout the time and that will already make you a true winner.
Keep your stand firm
Keep your points clear in front of your opponent. In the case of David, he needs to put forward his points very clearly if he feels his thoughts are needed for the relationship to grow. Adjust and compromise only to the point your soul allows. Beyond that, you will lose yourself. So, a+nalyze till what point your soul is not getting hurt and that’s where you break the knot and put forward your thoughts very clearly. If the other person connects to your heart, she will understand. Else, the path is quite clear. That’s where silence will be more powerful.
Try to look at things from his/her perspective
During the argument, there is no point in ranting around and trying to push each other down. Try to step into the other person’s shoes and try to think if he/she is trying his/her best to understand you. Are you of priority to the person? Once you have the answer, you have the situation under control. It is either yes or no – the way ahead is clear.
Believe in yourself
Well, that would be the answer to Misha. She needs to have confidence while making her point clear. Always be firm on your point, irrespective of whoever your opponent is. Ruminate your thoughts and then make a step ahead in the argument and have the belief that you will win if your points are valid. Be true to yourself!
Always remember, happiness lies within you. If you are into any fabricated argument, be clear of what you want. Once you are honest about what you can accept and what you cannot, you already have the power to come out peacefully out of any argument, be it a win or loss. A peaceful silent life is always better than a belligerent life where you damage yourself by putting your points ahead. Engage in an argument in the first place only if you feel it’s worth it!
