If you go out into the street with a question to citizens passing by: "Do you know how to argue?" It turns out that you need to. No, you can, of course, bang your fist on the table and say: "It will be my way!" In this case, for sure, more than half of sane people will simply step aside and will not get involved. But, most likely, witnesses of such an act will stop not only disputes with this person, but all communication.
Instructions
Step 1
If you get into an argument about something, you must be 100 percent sure of your position yourself! In the case when you yourself cannot absolutely vouch for your point of view, it is better not to enter into an argument.
Step 2
If you are sure that the truth is yours, clearly articulate your point of view to your opponent. Don't pour water. Your position should be clear.
Step 3
Be sure to listen to your opponent's position. You must understand exactly what you disagree with in your statement.
Step 4
After that, be sure to move on to the factual arguments. In this case, do not be unfounded. Your position should be backed up by clearly stated reasons. If they are not there, the dispute can be considered lost.
Step 5
When giving reasons, you must be prepared for the fact that the opponent will also tell you their arguments that deny your theory. Your task is to anticipate them as much as possible in order to be ready to give a worthy rebuff.
Step 6
Build your position logically and clearly.
Step 7
In addition to the logic and clarity of presentation in the dispute, the emotional side is also important, or rather the ability to restraint and, rather, emotionlessness. You can show some excitement, but do not go beyond what is permissible. A cold mind and sober calculation will allow you to psychologically defeat your opponent.
Step 8
And, of course, mentally tune in to victory. If you know that you are facing a serious bickering, pre-conduct auto-training, tune in to victory, repeatedly think over all the nuances.
With careful preparation and the right attitude, you can always defend your position in an argument. But do not forget that you can always get out of any situation with dignity. Even if you suddenly lost something to an opponent, opponent, or competitor, know that there is always a chance to turn the situation in your favor.
