Wanna know how to get someone toagree with you, even if you'rewrong?
1. Letthem speak. When in a conversation, practice active listening. They will quickly notice the pauses after theyspeak, prompting them to keep talking.
2. Tilt your head slightly when they start their new paragraph! Itdoesn't mean that you necessarily *agree *with them; you are just veryinterested. This will lower their walls and open up their trust to you.
3. Pause before you speak, to let them say everything that they needed to say.
4. Tilt your chin lower and look them in the eye when you speak. This showsrespect, and that you want their 100% attention just like you just gave themyours. And they willgratefully do so.
5. Atthe end of the conversation, act like you just remembered something, thenspeak your opinion. It'snot seen as a loaded opinion, and they will give you the same body languagethat you gave them earlier - like they are agreeing with you. Even if theydon't. Since they are already nodding, they can't take it back and now theyactually have to consider what you said to be true.
This is a great way to passively assert your opinion. Peopledon't get along because they don't understand each other, and they don'tunderstand each other because they are only listening with half of theirattention. If you make them the center of the universe for a singleconversation, you will be the most believable person in the room.
