What do you think is the best way to help a person psychologically suppress their counterpart during an argument?

Shouting, insults, threats?

Of course not! The most effective technique is… calmness.

Don't raise your voice, don't insult your opponent, and don't try to hysterically "spill arguments."

Only if you meet these conditions will you have a chance of winning the dispute.

You may not be able to "prove" anything to your opponent. But he will definitely be depressed and put in an unpleasant position.

How to argue correctly

There is a "golden" rule of argument. It sounds simple and succinct: "Don't shout!"

You need to behave as calmly and restrainedly as possible. Insults should never be used.

It is advisable to speak in a normal or even quiet voice.

The opponent of a person who follows the above rules finds himself in a difficult situation.

He has to either calm down himself and thereby effectively end the emotional exchange of opinions, or continue shouting, completely losing his advantage.

Calmness is always stronger than instability. Even with a lack of arguments.
