What to say to someone who's never wrong
In this brief advisory video, speaker Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP, offers three concise tactics for dealing with people who never admit they are wrong. The first tactic is a peace‑preserving deflection: respond with “maybe you’re right” to end the argument without conceding belief. The second tactic probes openness by asking, “What information would change your opinion?” which reveals whether the person is willing to consider evidence. The third tactic tests willingness directly with “Are you willing…?” to see if they are open to seeing another perspective. If any answer indicates closed‑mindedness, the speaker advises disengaging from the conversation. The overall message is to protect one’s own peace while efficiently assessing whether further dialogue is worthwhile.
