How do you get a stubborn person to realize they are wrong?

Don't waste your time and energy. Let them run "into the knife's blade". If they get into trouble, maybe they learn it the hard way. Because stubborn people cannot be convinced, even if they give in under enormous pressure, they still have the feeling that they were right and you were wrong. It's hard, but tell yourself this is his business and not mine, and don't feel responsible.

write the truth politely on a piece of paper and deliver it to the person who is misunderstanding. that is the best way you can do it.

That's a hard one.  You have to just try and get them to see if they are negative, why they are negative and try to show them how to be positive.

How long has this been going on? What is the reason? Did you do something bad?\n\nIf you did something, you can try admitting your wrong and apologizing.\n\nIf you did nothing wrong, then you can try and convince her that she must talk.  If she is stubborn and won't talk, then this is childish. This could be a turning point in your relationship. Is she going to be like this for the rest of your lives together? Do you want to live like this?  \n\nYou cannot force her, but you can take other drastic measures, then maybe she will learn on her own that she needs to try and talk things out and move forward with you, or she will lose you.

Be real with her. Forgive and ask for forgiviness without trying to rehash the argument or make that one last point. If you can't agree then agree to disagree. It sounds silly but if you are entitled to your opinion, so is she.

Learn to always admit it to yourself when you're wrong or don't really know something. It's the only way to keep learning...and to not be delusional.

I think the person has to come to that conclusion on their own. For over ten years I tried to point that out to my stepdad. He would tell me I was wrong and "change the game" so the outcome would be in his favor - he won.

Have you looked at it from his standpoint? Possibly he truly does not feel that he was wrong.  There are two sides to every issue try and look at the situation from his perspective. Possibly the next time a situation arises he will make an effort to look at it from yours.

just try to remain calm and stay away from it as much as possible, if certain people are doing things that you find frustrating tell them about it, they may not know and it may do some good to get how you feel about it out in the open so that they can correct what is frustrating you so much...

I think this requires a great deal more than just changing someones beliefs. You have to get them to see that what you are saying is in thier best interest, and not just a selfish change that you want them to make to meet your personal need. But, on a root level I do agree you do have to get them to believe they need to change.

You try not to fuel the argument. Even if he's yelling at you, keep quiet. In due time maybe he will realise what mistakes he's making, if he doesn't I guess he is not worth it.

Be friendly to them.  Really friendly.  Apologize as if it were your fault, but not in a weak way - just say you're sorry, you'll fix the problem, if there's something you can offer them, do it.  Take care of it, but stay above it, if you know what I mean.  And in your mind, know that other people are with you, and that this person is just making a fool of themselves.  If you stay cool, you win.  Also, keep in mind that the rude person probably has major problems, and it's pretty pathetic that they have to take out their frustrations on someone they don't even know.  And if all that fails, imagine them as the children they once were, and wonder what terrible things must have happened to them, to turn them into such mean adults.

It takes time ,but if u agree that u r wrong for the time being,it will make her think for a while.It gives two opportunities\n 1.Fight over\n 2.You can talk about it freely

stubborn is usually a way to express that they got a way of doing thing, let them to have their way to accomplish the task you assign them, if your way is better, you can show them the difference after that.\nthis can also loosen the tense situation built up when stubbornness have to be deal with, however, you must be open to new ways to deal with things cause people are different after all, otherwise you are the student you need to deal with first.

put them on the spot and ask them why they feel you are ignorant. maybe there is something you are missing. then again maybe by their answer they will show that they are the ones missing something! either way if their behavior continues find new friends. have enough respect for yourself to not allow others to treat you that way!

It's going to be tough to convince him...you might have to let him go down this path so he can learn from his mistakes

because they are ignorant and stubborn and refuse to consider anything that contradicts their current beliefs, no matter how logical it is or how much evidence there is supporting it.
