When you are talking with someone, no matter if a friend, family, acquaintances or a complete stranger and you are hearing sth that doesn't fit with your believe system or general view of life/how things are - how do you react?
Is your impulse to at least be friendly, but in your head, you are already structuring your response of how you disagree and the other person should at it in another way, aka your way?
- no one has the same experience as you, literally no one
- in that particularly moment, you might be in a different state than you normally are, i.e. angry, hungry, stressed
- your view might still be right
- and all the points apply to the other person
And, after all, does someone need to be right? Are you using it to proof to yourself that how you lead your life is so good that you need to convince everyone else of the same?
Show empathy. People have different values. People have different experiences. People are in different emotional states at any moment. Listen. Ask questions. Actually listen, don't think of your next sentence. You might actually learn a thing or two.
