#conflict avoidance

How do you politely handle a friend who always turns conversations political?

Should your first self-defense class teach you how to disarm a gun, or just how to run away?

What's your take on people ghosting friends instead of having a tough conversation?

How do you navigate online social circles without feeling pressured to pick a side?

Is "keeping your circle small" just an excuse to avoid hard conversations with people who disagree with you?
