Try this:
Every time when you’re communicating with someone else, stop thinking, and actively listening, especially when you’re having an argument or different grounds with that person.
Our mind is tirelessly popping up with facts, evidence, and maybe even unreal stories, to prove our stand and disprove what the other person is saying. Due to the confirmation bias, we tend to fall into the trap of making a conclusion and frame the information and evidence we receive and ignore everything else.
Now, you know this. Why don’t we question our own perspective for a moment, for even before this, we stop right that, hang out the voice in your head that can’t wait to prove yourself right? And then listen, put ourselves in another perspective.
Most of the time, when you do this, you found that we are all the same — our goals, our intention, our needs — we are just different in the way we approach them.
