Justification vs. Persuasion

Sometimes I feel very uncomfortable with some of my friends' arguments. I feel they are trying to persuade me, not to justify my decision or belief. Here it is the main difference:

Justification tries to give good reasons.

Whereas,

Persuasion tries to (convince you to) change your belief or actions (and bad reasons can do that).
