12 Ways To Deal With Stubborn People And Convince Them To Listen

When you tell them they don’t, it’s insulting. And when someone in a debate tells someone else they’re ignorant, they usually mean it as an insult, and not as a way to politely say that it seems that someone needs to do their homework and come back later.

Stubborn people have clear boundaries And they’re good at maintaining them; they won’t compromise themselves by doing something that makes them uncomfortable, or goes against their values. They also know what they do and don’t want.

1. Bring it on! Start a new attitude. View a stubborn person as an opportunity to become a better version of yourself.
2. Take a pause. Resist the urge to engage in an argument.
3. Play word chess.
4. Get them to listen to what you have to say.
5. The right time…
6. Go slow.
7. Break it into segments.
8. Think about their point of view.

Here are 5 ways to deal with people who don’t listen:

1. Ask them more questions.
2. Give them a chance to talk.
3. Focus on creating a meaningful relationship with them.
4. Try to explain things in a way that he/she can understand.
5. Educate yourself more on their learning style.

Being stubborn is considered a weakness, even though some may see it as being determined. However, a person determined to reach a goal but inflexible in terms of helping out others is considered to lack teamwork in a professional workplace.

See, stubborn people will always be stubborn. You can’t change them; you can only help to call them out.

Stubbornness is not a strength. Stubbornness is when you can’t be reasoned with. It’s when you’re so set in your way that you can’t acknowledge someone else’s point of view. It’s not about changing the beliefs, goals or decisions you’ve made.

The Bible says in I Samuel 15:23 (New Living Translation) that “Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as worshipping idols.” So I am in no way endorsing stubbornness.

God Himself gave us the label of a stiff necked people, in the 32nd chapter of Exodus. The meaning since then has involved antagonism, stubbornness, argumentative, and going into minute detail in order to distinguish our point of view from others.

A stubborn heart only knows how to hold on but sucks at letting go. 3. Seeing the best in people. You see what you want to see, you see what you believe and there is no way anyone can convince you otherwise.

He shall not have anyone living among this people, and he shall not see the good that I will do to my people, declares the Lord, for he has spoken rebellion against the Lord.” For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.

If you rebel against the Lord’s commandments, the hand of the Lord will be against you. 1 Samuel Rebellion can cut short your life and ministry. The Holy Spirit will turn against you.

The first records of the word rebellion come from the 1300s. It is derived from the Latin bell(um), which means “war” and is also the root of war-related words like antebellum, belligerent, and bellicose. To rebel is to make war against something you disagree with or refuse to conform to.

SPIRIT OF REBELLION. Rebellion is a portal to powerful demonic bondage. The Bible warns that God places the sin of rebellion in the same category of iniquity as witchcraft. “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft…” (I Sam. 15:23).

As nouns the difference between rebellion and disobedience is that rebellion is (uncountable) armed resistance to an established government or ruler while disobedience is refusal to obey.
