Disagreements are an important part of life, leading the discussion, healthy communication, lashing of pisstaking. Bring it on.

Sometimes I do, and other times I do.

Re: Do You Find It Difficult To Disagree With People You Like?

It depends who I'm with.

I don't bother disagreeing with on of my friends because it doesn't matter what I say they always think they are right even if I know they are wrong and they will argue the toss with me and I can't be arsed.
To be honest I don't like arguing, in fact I hate it as I'm not good at it. I get flummoxed always come away thinking OH GAWD, WHY DIDN'T I SAY THIS OR THAT, I always think afterwards how I should have argued my point.

I tend to clam up with people who are argumentative and confrontational and slink off. Even if I know I'm in the right it isn't important to me to prove myself right. I guess by saying all that I'm one for a quiet life.

I'll let them win.

I'll listen to their point but if I think they are wrong I will say I don't agree but I wouldn't bother going on to argue about it. Who cares.

You learn far more about yourself and the person you are disagreeing with than if you always go along to get along. I don't go along to get along.

Having a difference of opinion with someone who can be respectful and civil in a disagreement is a good thing. It helps you to develop your own position and expose flaws in your own thinking.

I participate on a couple of forums where if you disagree with the general consensus, you are gang tackled and beaten around the head and shoulders. It doesn't bother me a bit. I have been cussed for every kind of ignorant snowflake imaginable and I stay in there swinging. I try to keep arguments about the subject not the person, others have a hard time with that. I consider the source.

I'd like to disagree with you d00d but I can't because it's how I think too....It's not the end of the world to disagree with a friend, and if they are a friend they should take it on the chin same as I would....

I'd like to disagree with your agreeing with dood but I can't.

Re: Do You Find It Difficult To Disagree With People You Like?

At the end of the day people only care about their own opinion so there's no point in falling out with friends for the sake of a different view on a subject when nobody knows everything even if they think they do. In real life it's often a good idea to simply change the subject. People don't often notice particularly if you bring the subject back to them.

Yep, understanding is everything, but, two folks in close proximity with differing views, cannot both be right.

Re: Do You Find It Difficult To Disagree With People You Like?

Yes they can.
