I really loved this article! I often feel defensive in tough conversations too. Asking conversation partners about the “X they don’t like” will really take the edge off all that.
Great article! That's why it's so important to first listen to the other person and ask some clarifying questions before responding. Questions like "Can you tell me what you mean by ____?" or "That's interesting, tell me more about why you believe that" can set the tone for open dialogue rather than a debate.
