Stubbornness and uncompromisingness are the two biggest minuses in the character of a person. Such people do not recognize the opinions of others, they consider their point of view to be the only correct one and not subject to discussion and refutation. It is for this reason that such people often remain completely alone, having no one with whom to share their joys or sorrows.
However, this does not mean at all that the moment is missed and everything is lost, because you can always learn to behave differently and begin to communicate normally with people around you. This will help the advice of experienced psychologists.
1. Before expressing your own opinion on any issue, first think over a few times what exactly you are going to say.
2. Learn to listen and understand what other panelists are talking about.
3. Always remember that all people are different and reason differently. Everyone can be right in their own way, so do not rush to argue.
4. Remember that all people can make mistakes, so do not use their mistakes against them.
5. Remember when your problems in communicating with other people began and try to understand what was the reason.
6. Understand exactly what you feel when you refute the words spoken by the interlocutor: joy, pride, sadness, irritation, etc. If you understand what feelings are overwhelming you at this moment, then the reason for this behavior will become clear to you.
Reasons for inability to reckon with the opinions of others
There may be several reasons why a person is not able to listen to and accept other people's arguments:
1. Selfishness. People with a selfish character are not at all accustomed to accepting someone else’s opinion other than their own. They believe that everything they say is the ultimate truth, and their words are not subject to refutation.
2. Children's complexes. Quite often, children suffering from inferiority complexes or excessive shyness are not able to find a common language with other people. When they grow up, they become closed, uncompromising and stubborn, which does not allow them to accept the fact that other people can be right.
3. Improper upbringing and permissiveness. When parents are too busy and do not have enough time to deal with the child, but only buy his love and affection, he learns to achieve what he wants by any means. Seeing that parents indulge him in everything and do not argue, he understands his superiority over people and learns to manipulate them. That is why in an adult, independent life, he does not know how to listen and agree with his interlocutors.
