How to respond when proven wrong?
Hi i know a lot of people who are very bad at handling being proved wrong like when my friends argued whether or not Super Mario bros was the first game featuring Mario which is obvious to me now but back when i was a kid it was not so apparent they both argued about this for awhile until one was proven wrong that Mario was in fact originally featured in Donkey Kong and my friend who was proven wrong wouldn't let go even though the proof has been revealed he still is so pissed he doesn't want to give up his side of the argument and instead just calls him a fag and all sorts of things and i think to myself this obviously isn't the way you handle being proven wrong in an argument so I'm wondering what is the best way to handle this without sounding weak or stupid but also not hostile or aggressive just in a way that will make the person you are arguing with want to drop the argument in a peaceful way.
When a sociopath continues to contact you like nothing is wrong how should you respond back?
If the person has done nothing wrong or is not threatening you then say that you are not interested. If you feel insecure then let somebody know.Usually this kind of behaviour is due to desperation. When someone has a need for attention but does not want to alarm anyone by just acting casual about it. If you want, try to find out if he has any good friends - this is usually the main cause. How do I know this? I used to be one of these “sociopaths”.Believe me: loneliness will make you that weird and odd person you notice from time to time.
Someone answered a math question I asked and it had a lot of upvotes. My teacher gave me a D minus and said it was "ridiculously" wrong. How do I know if answers are wrong on Quora when they have a lot of upvotes?
Quora has a community of people who had dry humour.What happens is that the answers with the most upvotes are usually the most hilarious/interesting/touch people’s heart ones and not necessarily the correct answer to the question.Humour/interesting/touch people’s heart = more views = more upvotes.It is NOT correct answer = more upvotes.Maths question:What is 1 + 1 ?Most upvoted answerCheck it up on your calculator.Stop using Quora to do your homework for you.If you are a troll, you have just annoyed the quora maths community.We are going to blacklist you.1493 upvotesSecond most upvoted answer:If you concatenate it, it would be 11.If you are using binary, it would be 10If you are studying English, it would be “one plus one”If you are a Beyonce Fan, it would be the title of one of her songs.If you are a smartphone user, 1+1 is a type of android smartphone.if you are shopping, 1+1 usually means “buy one get one free”.1265 upvotes.The correct answer2 (Not show because it is too short. )Another example:What is x when 3x = 9?most upvoted answer =x is a placeholder for an unknown number that will give you nine when it is multiplied by three.(165 upvotes)Correct answer:x = 3 (not shown because the reply is too short)You see, the Quora community is not your homework helper. Some well-meaning individuals try to answer your maths homework question. But often, their attempts to tell you the answer do not yield any upvotes and are hidden because the reply is short.The Quora upvoters do not necessarily upvote a right answer to your question. Instead, they upvote posts that they find interesting and they can relate to it. Individuals know this, and they try to be creative about answers.As a result, sometimes, the answer with the most upvotes is not necessarily the answer that a maths teacher wants or expect.So if you want to do well in Maths, you need to know when someone is screwing you and actually learn the material enough to judge if the answer is what you need, instead of taking the answer with the most upvotes.
When someone has done something wrong, how do I let them know so they will not feel bad?
Hey FranciGood question and a tough one .Be honest about how you feel to yourself first.How was you hurt if it is physical skip to next paragraph .If your feelings were hurt here is where many put blame and accept no responsibility but should. If someone said something to hurt your feelings they taped a sore spot that has not been healed inside of you. It's not fair to hold them completely responsible for pain that is the result of an injury that you have been covering up, trying to get over, or basically wanting to avoid. Things that happen in the past, self esteem issues and or disappointed because we wanted the person to think differently about us. Meaning someone you like made a comment that suggests they may not like us in the way we hoped.Ask the person “can we talk” or “will you talk with me” or even “can I talk with you?”See the theme? We, with = together . This way your opening up and inviting the person to actively engage in a conversation.Telling someone you want to talk to them often puts them on the defense as they listen.Recall that previous situation by asking “do you remember” if they do recall the situation ask the person what was going on at that time. If they don't recall skip to next paragraph.It is important to listen to what might have been going on around the person or within the person. Don't expect it, but sometimes people recognize having hurt someone with a cruel remark or harsh tone. At this point some will offer their apology willingly if not put on the defensive end of a conversation. This is also a chance to make sure you have not misinterpreted something from that event.If there was not any clarification, if the person does not recall the situation or if you still feel your feelings need to be addressed this is where you might say something such as “ I asked what was going on….. because I am not sure if you realize when you________hurt me”.Explain to the person what hurt and why it hurt. If the person is willing to acknowledge, hopefully you will have closure.If they don't and you find their actions, words were intentional and they lack any concern or empathy for you, you have a different situation far more serious with that person.I hope this helps and you get the closure you need for this situation so whatever hurt you felt or feel can be mended and healed.Take care.
How can you prove someone that they are wrong?
Stop trying. Instead, help them prove to themselves that they are wrong, if in fact they are.So the first step is to keep an open mind. No matter how sure you are, you may be in error or at error to some degree. If everyone just kept this in mind, no one would feel the need to prove anything.The next step is to ask the right questions. Instead of giving an argument or fact, which may be naturally responded to with defensiveness, raise the question that then results in the emergence of that fact from the other person’s own mind.If that person doesn’t know the answer, you don’t jump to fill in the answer, either. You first ask why is this question important. In fact, the other person may ask that; and if s/he does, that’s good.Avoid giving any answer. If the other person doesn’t value a question your raising, then it means you have to first establish a foundation; in other words, you asked question C or D, not question A. Take a step, or several steps back until the utility of the question you raised becomes apparent.The only hard part is finding the right question. That doesn’t necessarily take knowing a person so much as knowing your subject and knowing all the wrong questions, and why they are lesser questions.Keep on the path of incremental, simple, and straightforward questions, and you’ll eventually arrive at your destination. As with most things, it’s the getting there that’s most of the challenge and most of the value; arriving is almost secondary. Join the other person in that journey, with sincerity, and don’t be afraid of changing your own views along the way. More than anything, a bit of humility goes a long way.You can ask me questions on my YouTube channel, PermanentWavesTV, or through #AskDrunkJesus and I will answer them directly.Thank you and please Subscribe to stay tuned to answers to your questions!https://www.youtube.com/c/Perman...Sankara SaranamMulti-award winning author of God Without Religion:http://amzn.to/29l9eUY
Hi can someone tell me what I did wrong with my zippo?
You overfilled it or you spilled fluid on the outer case. With a little practice, you learn how much fluid is enough without using too much. Even if it doesn't burst into flame when lighting, it can slowly leak into your pocket causing a rash on your leg which can be very painful. Don't overdo it and only add enough to lightly soak the material under the bottom felt flap, but never so much that it runs down the wick. Zippos are pretty hard to destroy, which is part of the reason they've been in business so long and have become an American icon. Open it up and let the thing dry out for a few days on a window sill or somewhere else where it can be warm but not hot. Then refill it with approved fuel that is made for wicked lighters. Ronsonol in the yellow container or Zippo Premium in the black can are the only types I would recommend. I always used Ronson fuel because it was available almost anywhere, but obviously, the Zippo stuff is okay, too. Lighter fluid is pretty easy to clean up with any household cleaner, though you should always be careful with any petroleum product. Let any rags that are soaked with it dry in the open air so there is no chance of spontaneous combustion, though that would be extremely unlikely.
People judge me wrong, how can I not get affected?
Thanks for A2A.“When you talk a lot and speak your heart/mind out, it’s highly unlikely that you can escape the judgment(s) of hypocrites who have a severe tendency to show what they aren’t. But then everyone is a hypocrite, friend!”Some people don’t want to get judged. You don’t want to get judged wrong:)Perhaps, the solution to not get affected lies in the very idea as to how it affects you in the first place. You can’t control how other people judge you. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO JUDGE!!!!What you can do is to continue being true to whatever you speak/do as your heart/mind says and be more true to people you think- affects you.‘They seem to be good to other people’ is good only till you find out that ‘other people’ are just like them. Our hypocrite government is running because they know that most of us aren’t any different from them. Hypocrisy is not going to end as it has become a way of living for most of us. However, being consciously true and congruent in our words and deeds in front of them stands a chance to make them realise their shallowness.A shallowness we all need to realise one day!
