How to deal with someone who constantly contradicts what you say?

In many cases when people do this, it's because they feel insecure, and being "right" helps them to feel better.  You can simply let them win, assuming that whatever they're saying doesn't matter that much.  You can say something like, "That's an interesting idea."

number one, I find it hard to believe you are ALWAYS right okay I will give you credit. (Cute Cute avatar by the way!) You are probably right 99.9% of the time LOL. ;) Just teasing. \n\nI know your frustration, ESPECIALLY if they ask for your advice. You give it to them, they go there own way anyway and they get stung. some people just never learn. Then they come crying to you. :P\n\nI don't know how to answer this one. LOL but I know what you mean. I have been on the other side of the fence too. I can be stubborn and hard headed because I am so darn independent that sometimes i just don't want to listen.

Basically, when two people disagree, they are both trying to be understood by the other. This habit says to try and understand first. Basically, you are letting the other person tell his side first. And, you are making sure that you really understand what he is saying rather than just listening to the words. Once you understand what the other person is saying, then you can explain your own position.

Should they be banned from having and/or expressing their opinions because they disagrees with yours?

Sometimes you just have to agree with them and go on. Even if you are right. You don't want an arguement or fight. So\ntry to understand her point of view. Reasoning too much makes people think you are being self-righteous. That's not\na good thing. you just have to let your guard down and swallow some pride. Because no one is always right.

Ignore him.  He obviously doesnt like himself.  People who dont like themselves are the ones who will say nasty things about others and try to spread rumors.  You cant control what other people say, so ignore him, go out and live your life.  Laughing always helps too.   Laugh at his immature behavior, look at him as a little kid and laugh - you will feel better in being the mature adult.

Don't bother trying to talk sense with them.They have a need to be always right,no matter how actually wrong they may be.

Take the high road.\nDon't bother being petty and drawing negative attention to yourself.\nProve that you are the better person by NOT reacting to what they say and/or do.

Sometimes no matter what you say it won't help.\nOne suggestion is to let them rant and rave and then offer to do what you can to help.  I really wish people would understand that you the person on the other end of the phone did not cause the problem but are simply there to try and help the caller solve a problem !!

IGNORE WHAT THEY SAY. NEVER BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY. LET THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT.

the best way to deal with a person is to figure out whether or not you actually like them, despite how they think.  are they a good person at heart?\n\na person sometimes cannot help their ignorances.  i grew up in a small, conservative, and nasT racist town.  therefore, after i moved to a nice mixed community, i sometimes come across as insensitive to those who aren't like me.  it's not that i harbor any resentment WHATSOEVER of anyone based on anything save for how they treat me!  it's just that i never learned when i was a child of the things that are appropriate to discuss.  if the person in question is open to new ideas, then you should remain around them, and not look down upon them.  help them see other points of view, if it's within your capacity.. and if not, direct them to those who can.  \n\nlooking down on a person just because you THINK they're of lower consciousness than you is borderline prejuduice.

I have a friend who's husband talks incessantly. People have asked him to stop, but he can't seem to. He doesn't seem to have a clue. He really gets on my nerves.

you don't say anything to people like that. the best thing to do is ignore them and act like you did'nt even hear them. giving them a comment only let's them know they have got to you and encourages them to keep on.

I completely understand.  People argue over something without any evidence or facts to back up what they are saying.  I think they do it just to annoy you and to try to sound intelligent even though they end up sounding like an idiot!

A lot of people get touchy when they are trying to show you their truth and you make a valid or logical point that doesn't fall in line with their beliefs. They are too stubborn or too afraid to admit there may be other possibilities because they have been conditioned to believe that you are damned to hell if you question any part of their particular religious doctrine. Therefore, if you don't take their word for it even if they can't show or prove they are right, the only way they can fight you is to shut you up or get rid of you so you would have less chances to influence anyone else to question what they deem to be the ultimate truth.

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.
