How do you talk with people you care about who have opposite opinions from you about social or political issues? The point is not to win debates, but to have civil discourse while caring for each other after the conversation. Do your best to steer the conversation to the middle ground, or at least their assumptions. When you feel stressed, aggravated, or anxious, don’t engage in a conversation just yet. Instead, take a deep breath and re-center yourself. You’ll find many more valuable strategies on how to care for people more than being right. Tune in!
