Well, are you struggling because of your perspectives? If yes, let me tell you, you are not wrong, you are just DIFFERENT.
However, if you really wanna bring change in yourself and be more open to new perspectives and not be rigid. You have come to the right place.
Develop your listening skills.
Honestly, listening skills are significant in every segment of your life. The more you listen carefully, the better you can step into their shoes and understand them.
I have seen many people listening with their ears closed. But to be open, you can’t afford that!!!
Sometimes, you need to listen even if it doesn’t interest you!! Just like you should be listening to current news, even if you don’t like to involve yourself in what’s happening around you because it’s important!!!
Show no superiority.
You must understand that showing off no superiority is superiority.
When you make yourself sound like your perspective is all that matters. You won’t win anything.
However, if you make the other person believe that their perspective (no matter how small) matters. Well, you’ll win their heart!!! And that matters, just so you know!
Stay curious!
Open-minded people are always curious about anything and everything.
It doesn’t mean they have no work to do. It’s just lifestyle.
They like to meet new people, talk about random things, and everything nice!
You gain more knowledge when you depict curiosity. And that’ll broaden your perspective, and you’ll be more open.
Even if you are an introvert, and you feel shy to express yourself, at least you can hear stuff and acknowledge others.
Use positive language.
If someone comes to you and shares their perspective, do not act like you don’t care.
Even if you disagree, don’t show it on your face. Respond positively.
The more optimism you show in your life and towards others, the happier you’ll be.
At the same time, using positive language would help that person see the good in you. He’ll improvise his thoughts because his opinions are respected.
Keep your opinions aside.
Alright, keeping yourself aside is crucial if you want to be open. Your opinions and your approach to life may seem flawless to you, but not everyone. So stop forcing your opinion on others ( even your family members).
When talking to someone, you must step into their shoes and emphasise with them than telling your life tales to them.
Ask more questions
It’s a common saying that “if you don’t ask, you’ll never know”. So ask as many questions as a kid does but don’t annoy the other person. (please)
Once you start questioning the existence of things, you’ll learn and grow. Also, when you have wisdom, you’ll share it with more people. You’ll feel a sense of pride when you share it with others.
