- I'm trying to understand his perspective and I'm asking about the details.
- I will let him know that I am listening, but at the same time, I will try to subtly change the topic.
- I listen to him, but internally I think he is exaggerating.
- I will tell him honestly that I don't see it as important, but I respect his opinion.
- I will express support, even though it doesn't seem significant to me, because I know it is important to him.
