We have some exciting news to share with you! After much consideration and feedback from our community, we have decided to change our name and direction to better reflect our values and interests. We are excited to announce that we will now be known as Thrivalist Connections!

Our new name better represents who we are as a community of individuals who are passionate about personal growth, wellness, and sustainability. We believe that life is not just about surviving, but thriving, and we want our name to reflect that.

With this change, we will be expanding our focus beyond just dating and into building a more comprehensive community. Thrivalist Connections will provide even more opportunities for like-minded individuals to connect, learn, and grow together. Our platform will continue to offer a range of features, including advanced search filters, private messaging, and community groups to support your journey.

We appreciate your continued support and are excited to embark on this new journey with you. If you have any questions or concerns about the change, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Understanding and Disagreeing

April 16, 2023 Published by

It’s common to think that understanding and agreement are the same thing, but they are actually two distinct concepts. Understanding someone means that you can grasp their perspective and see things from their point of view, even if you don’t necessarily agree with them. Agreement, on the other hand, implies that you share the same opinions, beliefs, or values as the other person.

To overcome the idea that someone has to agree with you to understand you, it’s important to recognize that people can have different perspectives, experiences, and values that shape their beliefs and opinions. It’s possible for two people to understand each other’s perspectives without necessarily agreeing with each other.

Here are some tips that can help you overcome this thinking pattern:

1. Practice active listening: When you’re having a conversation with someone, make an effort to listen to their perspective without interrupting or judging them. Try to understand their point of view and ask questions to clarify their thoughts.

2. Be open-minded: Keep an open mind and try to see things from the other person’s perspective. Acknowledge that their experiences and values may be different from yours and that this can influence their opinions and beliefs.

3. Focus on understanding, not winning: When you’re having a conversation, focus on understanding the other person’s perspective rather than trying to convince them to agree with you. This can help create a more productive and respectful conversation.

4. Respect differences: Recognize that people can have different opinions and that this is okay. Respect the other person’s right to their own beliefs and don’t try to force them to agree with you.

Remember, understanding someone does not require agreement. By practicing active listening, being open-minded, focusing on understanding, and respecting differences, you can learn to appreciate and respect different perspectives, even if you don’t agree with them.
