🧠“Are We Actually Talking… or Just Talking Past Each Other?”
I really enjoyed this piece by Kimberly Milhoan, in summary she suggests:
👉 We’re not necessarily disagreeing on facts…
👉 We’re often operating from completely different frameworks of understanding
(I can certainly identify with this)
The article highlights how conversations, especially around health, medicine, and recent events, break down because:
People are using the same words but meaning different things
One side is relying on lived experience, the other on published data
And so often instead of clarifying… we defend our position harder!
⚡ The uncomfortable truth
It’s not always that one side is right and the other is wrong…
👉 It’s that we’re solving different problems in the same conversation
“We’re not just disagreeing—we’re often not even having the same conversation.”
How often do you realise mid-conversation that the other person is coming from a completely different lens?
📌 I’ll drop the full article in the comments—well worth the read.
