Recent events have not only divided our country, they may have also divided your friends resulting in emotional distress or a sense of loss. We often hear the phrase, ‘let’s agree to disagree,’ but it may be easier said than done. Here are a few tips:

If you feel yourself getting emotional during a conversation, it might be a good idea to take a break. Knowing when to walk away from a conversation can save a friendship before you say something that you can’t take back.

If your friend tries to end the conversation with you, don’t force her to continue. When the conversation is not fun anymore, it’s time to end it.

Remember that no matter what your political differences might be, your personal relationship is more important.
