There can not be a healthy discussion if one side is always ignoring what the other side is saying. If she doesn't ignore what other people say, she will realize she is wrong. This is the basis of educated discussions and should bring up quickly whether she just wants to be right or to find the correct answer.

It is a topic for a different question, I don't think I have enough space here, hehe, but if you give an specific example maybe I could answer you. | |
| Jan 12, 2016 at 12:56 | comment | added | Sky | @Maurycy - Psychologically speaking if you use words like "but", the other person won't feel like you understand them, and I think they may be right, you are cancelling your previous empathetic sentence and good intentions with the "but", like "I care a lot about this, but..". If you care there is not but, just an example. It is something they stress a lot on conflict management, the most important thing is not to antagonize. I didn't add more details on that sentence, because it really depends on the case, and it is really something extremely hard to use. | |

Show the other side that you understand their stance even though they're still wrong: "I've been there and since then I've learnt why I was wrong". How should one emphatize? That's what I missing in this answer. | |
