Other than that, it doesn't answer the question because it doesn't offer actual strategy, remaining focus on introspection rather than "you can do this or that", which could probably be more useful than "say this or that", because the way to address it verbally was already outlined by the other person. To be honest, the person suggesting to bake cookies was more practical, even if not useful. | |

I've spent the last several years trying learning everything I can about how to be maximally effective at convincing people in the kinds of scenarios you're asking about, and this answer is the best one I've seen so far from my perspective. So if this answer doesn't help you, Upper_Case or someone else might be able to tune this answer or provide another answer that bridges the gap, but that's a lot harder to do if you don't say what's missing. | |
| May 11, 2018 at 14:23 | comment | added | Upper_Case | @J A: I'm not intending to override your conclusion that this does not answer your question, but would you be willing to explain why you feel that way? "Don't inform, but discuss; don't focus on terminology over content, be open to counter-arguments, and don't aim for a specific outcome" seems (to me) to be entirely on-point as an answer to "How can I talk to a group about this when they seem resistant to discussing it?". I'd like to improve this (and future answers), so I would appreciate additional feedback if you are willing. | |
