How willing are you to compromise and cooperate with people with different views?

How open are you to compromise and collaborate with others whose views on things may differ from yours in one way or another? Are you able to accept things and move on if you think they are wrong or will you accept it if it does not affect your personal space or principles? I'll say in advance that we're talking about everyday issues, not politics or important moral questions, because compromise in such matters is often quite complex and obviously problematic.

As long as their views mostly collaborate and are relevant to your society where you are from.

Globalism was and is a mistake, and so are universal values.

i just go with the flow. while i am a very opinionated person, and someone who regularly voices those opinions, i'm not that obsessed with feelings of self-importance to force my opinion(s) on others. if i think their opinion or way of doing something is inherently wrong or stupid, i'll do what i can to try and sway their opinion, or at the very least, find some sort of middle ground. but overall i don't usually care too much to force the issue any further, thus cooperating however i can.

100%, so long as they are just as open to compromise and collaborate

@MissHeed Well, it's quite subjective, but I quite often meet people with a mindset of "either we do it my way, or I go home."

People have their own views for their own reasons, i do not care a bit.

I understand that the younger generations are absolutist and want all the things they do not like to stop existing but this is not my way.

If we have to work together then we work together.

A very close friend of mine in very a religious family man and bisexual, there is nothing i despise more than families, bisexuals and religious people... we just don't talk about those topics and everything is fine. We are friends for 38 years. I do not respect his ridiculous views and he doesn't respect my ridiculous views so we just focus on common interests. Apart from sleeping with men, going to the church and having kids he is a great person.

As long the opinion is not presented in a vitriolic attempt to shot down mine. I welcome with great arms those I disagree with.

No, if you have different viewpoints than me on some things, I wouldn't want to touch you with a 10-foot pole.

thats unironically difficult to say
if it is a game or something then i dont feel its my duty to do with them. after all i want to enjoy myself and they obviously have problem with that.

if it is real work there is a different goal, even evil person wants to be paid at the end of the day but i'd still watch my back around them.

i took this question as meant someone unbearable or hostile human, not as some random dude who votes maga or something.

@RobertBobert That's what you meant. I married and reproduce with someone like that. Most people can be negotiated with. It's not a problem to me.

As a denizen of Olympus I do not expect most people to have views intelligent and coherent enough for me to consider. So I have no problem getting along with them, because I just let them have their silly little thoughts.

I go by feel and depends on the subject matter and the individual. A lot of the time it seems to be actual experience Vs opinions of something, me valuing the experience side of it more and usually have experienced whatever it is, even though the amount and level of it could be higher or low depending on what it is. I know not everyone has experience in something, but that's what I prefer to use, the internet kind of emboldens a lot of armchair experts & armchair tourists. Some go on and on until they win the argument or day for them, people like them clearly live on the internet and I feel it's just better to give them that win that they crave so badly. Just kinda wish I had that much so passion for something sometimes lol.

Considering most people with "different views" in my country tend to be hostile towards my very existence as a trans person, not very. If you don't respect my identity or are hostile towards other minority groups as well, it's not even a conflict of views, its a conflict of morals as I cannot in good faith collaborate with bigots

Ironic, I have seen you also being hostile towards a specific minority group, whose existence you don't respect.

I generally try to convince people of seeing things in my view, as a result, I tend to compromise on my messaging by trying to be as polite and open minded as possible. I do think I am rather close minded ultimately. It is hard to change my beliefs on certain things because I consciously choose to take any particular stance conditionally, and if that condition is not met, I will not change my mind. However, I am very willing to be open for the sake of whatever my end goal happens to be.

Well, im really bad with dealing with other opinions.

Basically, i have this mindset that my view of life is the only correct one and everyone else either shares it or they are wrong.

And well, no one has ever been able to convince me otherwise, so im truly convinced im right.

And im not going to change my lifestyle.

But i dont bother anyone if they dont bother me, so i dont think there is a problem.

My autism can make it hard to pick up on social cues sometimes sorry about that.

@LSSJ_Chloe Oh no worries, I'm kinda terrible at making it obvious when I'm joking or not so people usually assume I'm way more serious than I actually am when I'm shitposting :P

To be fair to @Zarutaku here, you did add "oppressed" retroactively! There are non-oppressed minority groups, like say gingers (the soul thing is a lighthearted joke probably, haha)

It's a joke (I think has to do with South Park) that gingers don't have souls, I don't think people say it seriously : D
