I understand that it can be challenging to engage with ideas or perspectives that contradict our own. However, ignoring someone else's perspective without considering its merits is not a productive way to learn and grow. Instead of looking for excuses to dismiss what others are saying, try to approach the conversation with an open mind and a willingness to understand their point of view. You might be surprised by what you learn!
