What happens here

By intentionally agreeing with the other person first, you are actively applying the psychological principle known as the 'Law of Reciprocity'. This law suggests that when you give something, such as an agreement or understanding, the other person feels an inherent obligation to reciprocate by giving something back in return, such as their agreement, openness, or willingness to consider your perspective. This makes it inherently more challenging for them to continue arguing against someone who has just shown agreement with them.

Goal: Create an environment of mutual understanding and agreement

What they say

Hide

them on the ropes they're now empathizing with your point of view because you've agreed with them they feel obligated to agree back with you so ask them their opinion then listen don't interrupt listen let them complete their thoughts that gives you time to think about your next statement and to build off from what they're saying don't feel like don't feel rushed at that point don't feel like you need to interject that's the worst thing you can do I know
