You could look for Frank Turek’s strategies of debate. But, first, you need to answer to yourself at the time of being challenged or atacked if you have time to enter a discussion; if this person is willing to talk and listen or if this person just wants to state sentences, opinions. You may add other questions to make to yourself before engaging according to what you are able to do in the present moment. I keep my recommendation of Frank Turek’s strategies for talking to people with differing opinions.
I will already alert you, there are people who choose some behaviors and it is not chosen by logic, it is chosen by will. These people will just ignore explanations. Do not feel obligated to convince the person. The best you can do is go on with your life and not let these people bother you or ruin your day.
God bless you! Have a wonderful new year!
