If Someone Keeps Moving the Target, They Were Never Planning to Be Convinced

H howtolive.guide ·

You meet their condition, and they raise a new one. You provide the evidence they asked for, and suddenly it's not enough. This is the moving goalposts pattern — the issue isn't your evidence, it's their unwillingness to update their position. Recognize when you're in a debate versus when you're in a performance where the verdict was decided before you spoke.

The point
When every answered objection spawns a new one, the person was never open to being convinced.
