in common with even values and beliefs? I think it’s better to make friends with people that you share common interests with .

I’ve found that I became much more open minded/ hearted once I surrounded myself with others that didn’t just agree with everything I thought. It showed me that people weren’t good/bad fun/boring smart/dumb based on those things in general. Certainly nothing as serious as say child abuse etc Things like religion though & more helped me in widening my understanding for others.

Yes that’s true but when they disagree with most of your thoughts about many different issues then it becomes a problem. @Mrsbetweenfatandfit

@SW-User I could see for many that being the case. Most people feel the most comfortable with those that think how they do certainly at least agree majority of the time. I’ve actually married someone though that we disagree on more things than we agree. We’ve remained very happy together & it hasn’t been a source of conflict for us. We are likely the exception to the rule though I recognize.
