PERSONAL OPINIONS

HI ALL!

Opinions are definitely something to be cautious about. Giving an opinion on certain topics or on someone can be really problematic if it is not expressed in an appropriate and respectful way. I think it is very important to take a few moments to reflect on what we are going to say, before communicating it to other people. Make sure we have enough arguments to defend our opinion and above all, have some handling of the issue on which we are going to comment.

When we interact with other people we must bear in mind that they may not agree with us, that they may have different experiences from ours, other ideologies and other subjectivities that will make them see things from other perspectives, which are just as valid. It is also hopeful that as a society we can be increasingly respectful of the opinions and feelings expressed by others, especially when they differ from our own.

Personally, it is important for me to continuously develop an increasingly active and tolerant listening, so that communication with the people around me is more effective. On the other hand, welcoming and respecting the opinions of others, as diverse as they may be, is essential for the practice of psychology in the professional field of the specialty it may be.

Finally, regarding the opinions that others make about me (as long as they are constructive) I try to be as receptive and understanding as possible, always considering that these can be a good feedback of what I give and I understand others in my relationships.

That's it! Thank you for reading!
