What is the best way to avoid an argument?

Question

How do you do it?

Answer 1

Be prepared to have one.

never be afraid to have an argument; otherwise, people will treat you like a doormat

Answer 2

the reason we argue is that we have our own opinions or knowledge on things or about certain topics which other people may some how do not agree upon,or maybe there are thingsthat peoplebelieve in or know about that we do not agree upon. The argument occurs when two or more participants engage in a conversation where one or more would speak out his /her thoughts which will be responded to by the other participants. It's all about pride, the fact that people wouldn't allow to give in or would just not accept defeat. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. In fact,no one should ever say that any person's opinion is wrong........there are no wrong opinions......simply because they are merely concepts of each individuals thoughts. Arguements are unavoidable since people are social beings....we cannot live without interacting or communicate with others.so instead of avoiding an arguement, orgetting deaply involvedin one, it is better to handle it with much care....care for the self and others.

The best way to handle an arguement is to first accept the fact that another person's opinion may be better than yours.Nobody is perfect,we all can be wrong most of the time. Second, is to learn to listen more, ask questions and lessen comments. Asking questions challenges the person to defend his thoughts to be able to see their point more and to establish the soundness of t. Third is to respect the opinions of other people, whether you disagree with them or not. If we could learn to respect other people, then these people might just respect your opinions as well. fourth, if it becomes neccessary,you may want to reconcile your differences and maybe meet halfway! This way,after parting ways, allthe parties involved would get a clearer view of the thoughts of the others,like asif they were their own thoughts.

besides, what's the pointin arguing if youknow no one will agree, beter find someone else you know will agree with you and share your thoughts with them instead.

Shut up and walk away. But you shouldn't always avoid arguments, arguing sometimes can be healthy. It teaches us to stand up for what we believe in, communication & debate skills, logic, reason, compromise... all good attributes in a person : )

Answer 6

I love to argue and the hubby doesn't. When I want to argue, he simply smiles at me, tells me he loves me and walks away. Well, most of the time. There are rare instances of an actual argument.

Answer 7

Argueing is just something we do. You shouldn't have to settle for less than what you want just because you don't want an arguement. It doesn't make any sense. Give up what you believe in or stand up for what you feel is right

Walk away
