Summary
Why do disagreements spiral into conflict — even when both people think they’re being reasonable? AJ and Johnny sit down with psychologist Julia to break down the biggest mistake we make in conflict: assuming we understand the other person. From “naive realism” to the limits of perspective-taking, this episode reveals why most arguments become two people trying to correct each other instead of actually listening. You’ll learn a more effective approach: using language to show real understanding, ask better questions, and stay engaged — even when you strongly disagree.
