I find myself arguing more than I agree and until just recently I wasn't really aware of it. On any given topic I would listen to what people have to say and immediately think of the opposing side to their statement and most of the time would argue that point. On rare occasions I do agree with someone, but i found that ends the conversation quite quickly unless you change the topic right after.
Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. I never did have great social skills. I wonder if there are ways that I could be more agreeable. Is that just how I treat new knowledge? By being skeptical right off the bat? That has gotta change.
In a conversation, do you find yourself agreeing or arguing more often?
Does anyone know how to argue politely? (ie disagree, but not in a way that will escalate emotions on either side)
Is so,
please tell me!
