    How to deal with ignorant and silent men? In fact, you love him, but you don't know how to get his heart. You don't know how to treat this man. You have tried your best. What do you suggest doing?
    Community Answer
    First off, you may be misunderstanding the word 'ignorant'. An ignorant person is not someone who ignores you. It can refer to someone who refuses to acknowledge facts or inform himself about things, or it can refer more generally to someone who doesn't know about or understand something. As for this guy, you shouldn't give him more of your time and attention if you've tried your best and he isn't responding to you. Find someone who enjoys your company and appreciates you as you are. You can't make anyone like or love you, it has to come naturally.

  • Question
    What if my brother disturbs me when I'm trying to study? How can I ignore him?
    Community Answer
    Is there a room that you can lock him out of? Otherwise, if he is young, find something that he enjoys to keep him busy. He may just want your attention, so you could explain to him why your studies are important, and offer to play a game with him or give him some other reward when you're finished with your work.
  • Question
    How do I convince someone if he keeps being ignorant after I show him facts and references? Should I just leave that person be and try not to involve myself with him?
    Community Answer
    You should let him figure out the truth on his own, but don't stop associating with him if you really want the best for him. Show him you'll support him even when he is being stupid.

    You're doing it right already. All you can do is confront him and tell him he's being ignorant. But he is allowed to defend himself.

    "The moment you start arguing with an ignorant fool, you have already lost." Let her be. Ask her to do something with her phone for you and don't help her, see what happens, then say nothing more.

    Firstly, make sure that they are in fact wrong and it is not you who is mistaken. Assuming they are wrong, then it is important to understand why they trust the source they did. Bringing another source may simply lead to butting heads unless you can (1) explain why one source is more reliable, (2) look at the methodology that each source used to come to its conclusion (i.e. always ask "how did they come to that conclusion?"), or (3) investigate whether what their source is saying is logically consistent (i.e. ask "if that were true, what else would have to be true?").

    Don't fight fire with fire. Cyberbullying is not an ethically or logically good solution for dealing with ignorant people.
