How can I use psychological means to make my opponent in a debate feel ashamed and thus agree with me?

In a debate, making your opponent feel ashamed is not the most effective way to make them agree with you. It is better to focus on appealing to their logic and presenting valid arguments while Remaining composed and respectful. If your opponent does not agree with you, try rephrasing your statement in a different way that might help them see it from a different perspective. Appealing to their emotions will likely be ineffective, as they will likely become defensive if they feel like you are trying to manipulate them. Instead, strive to create an engaging conversation where both parties can exchange ideas and come up with a satisfactory resolution that takes both perspectives into consideration.
