    Plant the seeds of thought. Encourage someone who is receptive to you, to practice always asking ‘why’ and trying to find those answers. When they have a question, help them walk through reasoning to find the answers instead of giving the answer, yourself.

    Most importantly, you cannot change someone’s mind if you are not their friend first. Sometimes that’s up to the other person to want to be there in the first place.

    Sorry, word soup but wanted to chime in. A number of people like to spend time around me because I encourage them to think through difficult problems and celebrate their victories.

      Not word soup at all! It makes a lot of sense.

      I think the issue is that I’m trying to reach someone on a logical level because due to our history and their current situation, I’m unable to connect emotionally.
