Psychology of Convincing Someone to Believe in You

Written by M.Farouk Radwan, MSc.

Failing to Convince Someone to Believe in You

It feels bad when we fail to convince someone to believe in us and It hurts when we find ourselves in need of someone to believe in our dreams but find no one. It feels terrible when we believe in our own ideas but fail in convincing others to believe in them too.

Why does this Happen

Almost everyone faces that situation sometime, whether it was an idea that was rejected or a dream that people were not convinced to believe in still It feels pretty bad. What’s even worse is that sometimes after debating it repeatedly we may end up doubting our own beliefs!!

The reason this happens is that you probably didn't believe in your own idea strongly enough and that's why people affected you.

The Power of Believing

The more you believe in your idea the more powerful will be the effect on the way you talk, your gestures and the way you convince others.

The more you believe in your dreams the more you will shake the beliefs of the person you are tying to convince.

The main idea behind convincing someone to believe in your dreams, ideas or in yourself is to shake his own beliefs about them. This won't happen unless you strongly believe in them first.

The more assertive you sound while describing your idea, the less assertive the other person will be.

Similarly, the more confident you appear when describing it the less confident he will become in opposing it.

It’s a game of convincing people that you know more than them. If you convinced a person that you have superior knowledge then he will believe you even if he was skeptical at first. Display as much confidence as you can while talking. Shake people's beliefs and let your own ideas sound like facts.
