3 steps to becoming more open and accepting of other people's differences

that some individuals experience when others disagree with them is caused by their being hurt by the differing opinion or lifestyle. This is demonstrated in the following conversation between Vera and Brian right after they saw a movie together.I could barely stand to sit through it.What was there to like? I found it uninteresting and the acting was weak.Only someone simple-minded would enjoy a movie like that.

Brian is threatened by Vera’s differing opinion of the movie because he finds it invalidating. When people feel invalidated, they feel like they are crazy, stupid, or wrong for their beliefs and they take this as an insult. Then they get angry—and sometimes, they lash out. Intolerant individuals, like Brian, depend on others to validate them by agreeing with them and behaving as they do. They require that others mirror them in order to be okay with themselves and hence in order to get along.

The sad thing is, someone probably got paid to come up with and promote this garbage as gospel for themselves as well as others. Are they any studies to back up these claims or is this another pop-psychology journal gaslighting society to become robots. So glad I tapped out.

Who is this written for lol?

So you side on Vera being the shitty friend and not allowing Brian to revel in the movie that he invited her to? Brian is right for going to the movies by himself next time not tolerating crappy people. If Vera expects to maintain friends then she better learn some respect.

They easily take their heads out of the palaces, trust thousands of police soldiers, I would be your nightmare.

Including sexual differences...which might mean that we all start to acknowledge some additional types of sex.

Ga marah sih, tapi ngebatin. Semua orang mau nya di dengerin tapi gapernah bisa apalagi mau nge dengerin orang. Sampe pada lupa, kalo 'Pendengar yg baik bahkan terbaik sekali pun, juga butuh -di Dengar-'.

This explains my extended family members a lot - always competitive & argumentative. Hard work. 😬
