I cannot stand to argue with people. I avoid conflict as much as possible. Unfortunately, there are times when I give in and argue with impossible people. This is usually when my foolishness gets the better of me. In an attempt to learn how to overcome this flaw I discovered the following advice from Wiki How. First they suggest you learn how to calm down. A recommended method for achieving this is to relax and breathe deeply. Trying to visualize a clam setting may help too.
Second, Wiki How recommends that you let go of being right. No two people can be right if they have opposing viewpoints. Someone must be strong enough to be humble.
Third, it is good to agree to disagree. Acknowledge another’s view and agree with them on any shared views
Lastly, the one that will be the most difficult for me, is practicing nonviolent communication. I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve. I think that I will attempt to converse with myself in front of a mirror and try to watch my own body language.
