What It Really Means To Live And Let Live
Mirror a loved one’s feelings
When deciding how to respond to something a loved one tells you or how a loved one is living, just ask yourself how she is responding. If a loved one is telling you that she is extremely excited to move in with a partner, then show excitement for her. If she’s telling you she feels sadness around a new job, then show concern. Even if, deep down, you feel differently about this person’s decision, it helps open up the lines of communication to first show empathy and get on board with her feelings. It shows you understand where she’s coming from.
