The key is to remember that not everyone agrees with your strong opinion, or even cares about that, and that shouldn't make them any less important to you as a person.
And yes, these environments exist, I've worked in them.

Not whether Jesus is the messiah or whether Isaac or Ishmael is the rightful heir to Abraham.
- christophilus 5y agoMy favorite conversations are with those who disagree with me. Even better, if we’re smoking cigars around a campfire. My least favorite conversations are those that are regularly foisted upon me with no consideration of whether I even want to talk. Hint: at work, I want to write software, not listen to you talk (for the 50th time) about why you’re voting for Rick Santorum.
