Don't assume you've won an argument just because the person is silent.
Sometimes people stop arguing not because they agreed.
They may get tired of repeating the same thing, realize they still aren't being heard, or simply decide to conserve their energy.
Silence after an argument is not proof that you are right.
Sometimes a person becomes silent not because he has nothing to say, but because he no longer sees the point of talking.
- I try not to argue for the sake of winning.
- I'll be more careful.
