Its easy to disagree with Friends, just reclassify them as Acquaintances.

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

I don't find it difficult,disagreeing with people I like.....I do it with a friend of mine.....it's the way we disagree...in a polite manner....I always end with....."we will agree to disagree with each other "....we then leave it at that......until the next disagreement.

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

It is much easier to disagree with my friends than with others who don't know me as well. My friends know I give an honest opinion without trying to change their mind. We accept the differences.

Acquaintances don't care about the reason for the difference of opinion. They are on the defense immediately, so further discussion comes to a standstill.

Sound position, if I may say so.
I post on other forums. And stay polite even in the face of this
"By the way, I am now convinced you are in urgent need of psychiatric treatment."
That was from Mr Admin and that's mild compared some of his outbursts.
The discussion was about cruelty to animals.

Although there's a few people that I tolerate to varying degrees there's so very few people that I like it's never been an issue for me I can't see it ever being one.

to me that is very sad. What kind of people are the ones that you do like, (besides Thunberg) what is it that makes you dislike the majority of people.

Can't speak on Todgers behalf, but majority's are no assurance of quality.

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

I can count on one hand the people I class as real friends....my daughter has about 800 so called friends on her Facebook....no that can't be right.

I said earlier I would not share an opinion with a pal if I thought they would be hurt by it....I'm not a pushover though most the time I stand my ground.
