I find that this works conversely when people are ‘arguing’. From personal experience, many people think that I disagree with them simply because I don’t understand the points they’re making, and that my mind will change if they explain better. My go to is “I understand why you think that way, but personally I disagree” and if they keep going then I js leave it. 🤷‍♀️
