Listen to people’s ideas, opinions, and advice with an open mind. Even if you don't necessarily agree with them, consider their words without immediately dismissing them. Show that you value the person and what they are saying. You can do this by not speaking over them, asking questions to enhance your understanding, and listening to their opinion, even if it’s different from yours. There is almost always a kind way to say something. This can be the difference between hurting someone’s feelings and making an insightful observation. If you tend to be hurtful or angry in your words, especially during disagreements, get into the practice of using kind words instead.  For example, instead of saying, “You never pay at restaurants when we eat together,” say, “I got the last meal, would you like to get this one?” Using “I” instead of “you” statements when you talk to other people is more respectful and helps to communicate your perspective without making people defensive. Avoid putting someone down, speaking down to them, insulting them, and calling them names. If your discussion is at this point, it’s unlikely you’re treating them with respect. Take a break. If you mess up, own it. It’s normal to make mistakes, but it’s important to acknowledge your mistakes and how they impact others. When you make an apology, show that you are remorseful and know that you made a mistake. If possible, make amends. Try saying something like, “I am sorry I raised my voice at you. That was rude and disrespectful. In the future, I will do my best to speak calmly to you.”
