Caption: 5 Sanity-Saving Tips for Arguing on the Internet. 1. Practice Empathy. A good way to do this is to ask a person with an opposing viewpoint to explain their stance. You'll gain a sense of why they hold their opinion. 2. Don't post when you're in a bad mood. Prevent downward spirals. Don't participate in toxic discussions. Nothing good will come out of it, Dr. Jure Leskovec, Stanford University, via 'The New York Times'. 3. Pay close attention to language. When a person uses "we" rather than "I" to explain their opinion, it can "indicate a diluted sense of group responsibility for the view." Such people are more difficult to persuade. 4. Put a limit on replies. Studies have found that more than three replies amount to a waste of effort in terms of actually changing someone's mind. 5. Take your time before posting. Experts recommend taking a breath and considering the intention of your post. Is it meant to help or something else? THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
