2. Understand “Intellectual Empathy” 👂

Definition: Intellectual Empathy – putting yourself in the other person’s shoes to understand their perspective.

Example: If I feel like my classmate didn’t listen to my idea, I might ask myself why they thought their point was important.

Application: When discussing different opinions, try asking questions to understand where they’re coming from rather than just arguing back. Imagine if you’re in a group project, and one friend pushes a different idea. Before disagreeing, ask why they think it would work.
