Based on what you've said, I get the same impression. If you want to connect with somebody, don't talk. Listen. Even if you "know" you're right.
As stubborn as you think those people are, they have a good case for arguing that you are just as stubborn if not more so.
- marvin 6y agoMost people you'd disagree with generally have a point, if you get past the quick-release talking points. If one tries to have a genuine conversation, it might be surprising to many how much common ground can be found.
- dimitrios1 6y agoDo you hang out with people who just talk all day without a prompt? How do you listen if you don't first ask?
- darkerside 6y agoI'm sorry, but I truly don't understand your point here. Do you mind explaining it for me?
- darkerside 6y agoI think I get your question now. Honestly, there is an art to it, and you can't always just come out and ask. It exposes that you care more about the information than you do about the person. Maybe bring it up gently the next time it comes up in context. Or, when it's just the two of you, ask if you can bring up a potentially sensitive question with no judgement involved, just to learn.
