Most of us will have had the experience of feeling offended by something someone says about us. There is a difference between a personal comment, and a difference of opinion. When our opinions are challenged, we can think that we are personally being attacked – that our opinions ARE us. We explore how true this is, and discuss the idea that we grow and change our ideas over time.
Should we be so thin-skinned that someone else’s different view to mine is intolerable? How can we stretch our comfort zone of being with difference? Living in silos, with no difference of opinion, means that we end up being pushed further away from anything that might feel challenging. We discuss how to become more curious about difference rather than threatened by it. And even change our opinions over time!
