Damn thatâs a really interesting point actually. I tend to be fact, logic and emotionally driven lol and I really struggle to understand when people arenât grasping the facts of a matter. I know sometimes I can get emotional so sometimes I will take all the emotion out of my stance and focus on the logic and facts - thinking that will be more understood than injecting emotions into the argument but it still doesnât work.
Disclosure; Iâm autistic so I honestly just thought this was me not being able to communicate, which maybe it sort of is, but it also seems like a flaw to not be able to accept facts as facts and to see logic? I also think online is a terrible measurement of effective communication though.
SoâŚhow do you be persuasive? The only answers I can think of by what I observe are all very cynical but possibly accurate? That it basically has to be painted as something that directly benefits the person you are trying to convince? How else can you effectively persuade someone? Genuine questions here đ

I guess my persistant belief that facts and logic can persuade people is a case in point - no matter how often I am shown it doesnât actually work the belief persists!

I think the belief comes from respect, you respect the agency of others, you would never tell them lies or try to persuade using emotion
that is not how humans are made, we are foremost social animals , so if you want to change minds you must first gain trust
