"Focus on the person, not their position."
Ever found yourself in a spat with a friend and worried it might be the end? This episode of Accidentally Intentional is all about tackling those tricky disagreements with friends without hitting the 'unfriend' button. Host Zoe Asher dives into practical strategies to keep friendships intact, even when opinions clash. The key takeaway? Focus on the person, not their position. Zoe shares her personal experiences and insights, admitting she's no stranger to conflict herself.
She emphasises the importance of listening more than talking—a tough one for those of us with a touch of ADHD, right? But it's all about giving others the space to share their thoughts fully. The episode highlights how tone and body language often speak louder than words, reminding us that a simple text might not convey the warmth or empathy needed during disagreements. Zoe encourages listeners to pick up the phone or meet face-to-face to resolve issues.
Her mantra is clear: not every disagreement is worth a fight. She poses a thought-provoking question—do you want to be right, or do you want to be reconciled? This episode is a heartfelt guide to maintaining those valuable friendships, even when tensions rise. Zoe also introduces a unique approach to redefining friendships when necessary, allowing for growth and change without ending the bond.
With humour and honesty, she shares her journey of creating deep connections, offering hope to introverts and social butterflies alike. So, are you ready to rethink how you handle disagreements with friends?
