For those of us that are deep empaths and/or hyper-empathetic who have been constantly misunderstood and not given the benefit of the doubt or even benefit of the facts (I’ll need to do a post about this), we already do this. We try to evaluate things from the perspective of the other party and try to find ways to accommodate their views (sometimes to our own detriment). Unfortunately, the result is often that we move toward someone else’s position and they refuse to move toward ours not because it lacks merit or validity but because they are too invested in ‘winning’ whether that’s ego protection, peacocking, control (narcissistic), whatever.
