Psychological Tricks To Win Any Argument

In this trick, you need to ask the other person or your opponent a series of questions so that their answers ultimately lead to a conclusion that aligns with what you wish to say. This way, you'll make your opponent say what you are trying to imply-- by simply putting words in their mouth.

 

If you wish to get your way with the other person, present them with a situation or problem so that they believe there are only two possible outcomes to it, whereas in reality there are more. This way, whichever one of the two options they pick, will be in your favour.

 

Humans are emotional creatures, and this is what differentiates them from others. So use this in your stride by connecting with them on an emotional level, instead of being logical while arguing. In most cases, people get carried away with emotions and need to remember logical reasoning. This will make them agree with your point of view.

 

Another common trick used by many people to win arguments is to bring up unrelated issues instead of focusing on the main problem while arguing. This deviates people from the main problem, thus distracting people and pushing the main problem under the rug for the time being.

 

If you believe that your opponent is being sly and lying then instead of arguing with them, just stay quiet. This will make them uncomfortable and might lead them to over-explain themselves thus revealing the truth or their weaknesses.

 

In this, instead of focussing on the argument, a person criticises their opponent who initiated the argument by targeting their flaws or character. This distracts the person who began the argument. It also shifts the person's focus from the argument to other trivial issues.
