we can retain our right to have our own minds while thinking about the experiences and beliefs of others. Wanting to be understood and similar to others can help us feel less alone in the world. But we can stay in relational contact with someone, even if we don’t share their experiences or beliefs
You can be curious about others’ beliefs without compromising your own
