Entering a complex conversation with a strong opinion can sometimes lead to misunderstandings.
What may truly be expressed is fear, worry, confusion, and a search for comfort.
Responding with logical reasoning to a jumble of emotional words may not address the root of the issue.
If the argument being presented lacks a basis in fact and doesn’t lead to a sensible conclusion, it may not be aiming for a constructive dialogue.
It may feel dismissive to say “blah, blah, blah,” but that might be the gist of it.
In situations of uncertainty, try to discern the underlying emotions and needs driving the conversation. People often seek understanding and empathy more than winning an argument.
