This is applicable in all types of relationships. Fundamental things that we believe are true and right shouldn’t be on the negotiation table if they change who we are. However, making a connection between something that doesn’t mean much to you but something that affects your friend, partner, family member greatly, and can indicate your feelings toward them, can help navigate into calmer seas with just a little effort. . This isn’t about the glass. It’s caring enough about how another feels and then acting on it. You don’t have to understand why it matters to them, you just have to accept that it does.
