Microaggressions can occur when discussing sensitive topics with people who have different opinions from you. To avoid these, focus on communicating respectfully and listening to their opinion without interruption. Acknowledge their feelings and experiences and try to find common ground that you both agree on. When addressing the issue, be honest, empathetic, and non-judgmental - demonstrate that you are open to discussion, learning and change. Ultimately it may be helpful to recognize when your ideas or actions may be causing offense and adjust accordingly.

It is important to be open-minded when discussing sensitive topics with people who have different opinions from you. Listen and try to understand their point of view. Ask questions and show respect for their perspective even if it differs from your own. Be aware of any potential microaggression or insensitive comments that may come up in conversation and steer the discussion away from those topics by being sensitive to how words can cause harm.
