Asking them to state very clearly the point of disagreement they think we have usually reveals it doesn't exist or makes them go away.

I think we're all susceptible to this. Getting an impression of someone's attitude & arguing with that rather than what they say.

But it's very frustrating & also quite upsetting to have people constantly responding negatively but vaguely to attitudes you don't have.

I need a strategy. Going to ask people to spell out the point of difference they perceive us to have & point to what I have said.

…a strategy that depends on them being honest and arguing in good faith. I'm sure you can see the issue there

It's less that I expect them to do that & more that if they don't, I will know much sooner that the conversation is pointless.
