Are you a person that always has to win an argument?

We all have argument with people and it is never easy to be the one that loses! Are you a person that can lose an argument and not make big deal about it or are you a person that always has to win no matter what?

Hi CJay. No, I'm not this kind of person. I hate who want to win always no matter what. This kind of person in fact doesn't have argument but obstinacy. Some people need to win everytime everything and I really hate it. I have my opinion but you can have a good argument and I respect it and perhaps can change my opinion. But try to impose your opinion I never accept it. Cheers and have a good day.

Hi teka, Where you been girl? I don't seem to see you around lately...... I think it is always good to give our opinion and have the person listen once a while. And I agree that some people want to always win no matter what! You have a good day also and thanks for the response.

Hello,Jay! I never indulge myself in an argument for the apprehension that it may create a new enemy for me.thanx.

I used to be like that. Whenever our class is having a debate, I always think that I have to convince them on my side. I don't take other's opinion and is always self centered. Now that I am a grown up, I realized how stupid I was to think that I know everything. Before commenting to anything, I make it a point to know all the whole story first and not to give a stupid response. When a person start to argue with me, I let them talk first and see their point of view before commenting back. I always start with "from my idea" and always close it to "if that is what you want to" so I can avoid hurting other people. It is not good to have so many enemies anyway.

Hi anneshirley, I think this kind of attitude will be good in theory but maybe not so easy in practice! Sometimes the problem having argument is some people don't even let you finish to give your opinion and they just keep craping on and it will turn into war. But I agree that it is not good to have many enemies. Thank you for sharing and for you response.

i guess i have a tendency to be like that so avoided one. I dont really want to be in argument so i always avoided it . I know myself if i know i am right there's no one who could prove me wrong and it will end up as argument that i have to win. So for me better avoid it .

Hi ronacruz, I would like to avoid also but it is not always easy and sometimes arguments start whether we like it or not! Thanks for the response!

I don't usually end up in arguments that make me wish I won as a rule. I guess there might have been times in the past where I was in a conflict but then wind up just walking away with no one winning anyhow. It isn't always nice to lose but I am the type who would not really make a big deal out of it.
