Instead of trying to change someone’s opinion through badgering, it is indispensable to approach the situation with empathy and understanding. Try to understand the other person’s origin and address their concerns and feelings. Converse your own perspective calmly and respectfully. This approach is more likely to lead to a positive outcome and a deeper understanding between both parties. It can also help to find common ground and come up with a compromise that works for both parties. In any case, it is essential to remember that change takes time and patience. Therefore, it’s critical to be patient and persistent in the approach.
