There are multiple ways in which someone can be wrong: they may be motivated to think something that is not true, they may have false or out dated information, or they may be partially right but not entirely so. Whatever the case, the art of telling someone they are wrong involves convincing them with the reason, logic, and facts in a manner that eases them into, rather than is aggressive about, the realization that they are mistaken. It can be uncomfortable to tell someone they are wrong, but there are times when it is necessary to do so. Below are ways to navigate the situation in a way that will be most convincing and least tumultuous for both parties involved. | There are multiple ways in which someone can be wrong: they may be motivated to think something that is not true, they may have false or out dated information, or they may be partially right but not entirely so.
