(46,179 posts)107. That's my experience, as well.
Creating more friends than enemies...what we should all strive for.
I find that our mainstream culture often works against that, setting us up to expect conflict and opposition, to be prepared with "talking points" and the "fight and win" mentality that, most of the time, doesn't really result in a "win" for anyone in the long run.
I sometimes get caught in that loop, and have to breathe and step back and breathe some more to realize that I've stepped off the path. I'm probably not alone. The more constructive, respectful, productive conversations I am part of, the better I do with the rest.
And that all fits, doesn't it?
