A few years ago, I sometimes commented on political posts. I love to play devil’s advocate so it seemed like a good idea to challenge people’s thinking.
After exchanges with a couple of friends that adversely affected our relationships, I realized it’s not worth it. You can’t rationally discuss emotional topics, so there’s a lot of downside and little upside.
Everyone has their own experiences that led them to their beliefs. If I could go back and do things differently, I would empathize more and ask questions instead of trying to change people’s minds.
What topics do you avoid debating with friends?
Politics, religion and any addictions one may have.
You can’t change other people, you can only change yourself.
And sometimes that seems impossible, too!!
PS. Sorry I missed “Movement class” yesterday.
Still having tech problems here.
