stubborn in the sense whether he is sincere and honest. If it is so , then everything is correct and spectacular.If he is not so, then you should avoid him as much as possible.

I agree with your tips! But to some point, there are times that you cannot deal anymore with the attitude of your friend. So I guess it is better for you to talk to your friend your problem with him/her straight forwardly and prankly.

If it is your friend, then 1. Never say they are wrong when the situation is hot! Point out their mistake with a compelling reason at some other occasion. 2. Never talk them during an argument. Just accept even if they are wrong. Wait for a favourable time to make them understand their mistake. This how i think we should deal with our friends. If that person is not so important, we can do as you said...

I have only one tip.. don't care about a stubborn person. If you know he/she is why bothering taking them or their complains or questions or ask for advice serious? They won't change or believe or try what you say anyway. So if it's a friend: respect him/her. If not, stay out of the way and live your life the way you like. We all need to do it our way and gather our own experiences.

If I have a stubborn friend, I will not insist my opinion. That could make our friend angry. We have to see the good qualities they have and must learn how to say our suggestion in a tactful manner that will not offend them. At any rate, we should be honest to our friends. If we see something bad about them, we must find ways to help our friend change it. We do it because we are concern and love them.

That's right, if you don't agree with them, don't disagree, either. Just acknowledge, and add any suggestion or advice you can give. Also, don't be let down if they won't take your advice. It's their life, anyway.
