I fully agree that it is tricky business. Navigating complex minds, but conveying information in a manner that others can hear, can be quite a challenge!

I feel lately to be more interested in just doing my thing, and to stop worrying (or being bothered) by others in me trying to convey my view or message. The challenge therefore doesn't seem to lay on whether the opposing side understands or not, but rather on how I stand in that circumstance and whether I am willing to put in the effort, perhaps risking frustration, or avoiding all together. I'm not saying I can't manage frustration, but rather that it weighs off against the overall scenario. What would you is such case yourself?

In such a case, I would ask myself if sharing my perspective is truly worth the effort in that situation. If it feels like it won’t make a difference or costs too much energy, I’d let it go. But if it feels important enough, I’d engage intentionally, without being too attached to the outcome. It’s about choosing consciously when to speak and when to step back.
