This phrase often comes across as dismissive, passive, and reluctant. It can make the other person feel like their perspective isn’t worthy of real engagement or respect. It’s a way of brushing off their feelings or opinions without truly addressing them.

Instead of shutting down the conversation with this phrase, try showing curiosity and a willingness to understand where they’re coming from.

🎯 Try:

Acknowledging their perspective:
💬 “I hear what you’re saying, let’s talk about it more.”
💬 “Okay, I get that. Tell me more about why you feel that way.”

Opening up space for discussion:
💬 “I see your point. Let’s explore that a bit further.”
💬 “I might not fully understand, but I’m interested in hearing more.”

Showing genuine engagement:
💬 “That’s an interesting thought. Let’s dive into that.”
💬 “I didn’t realize that, but now I want to understand it better.”

🎯 Rather than dismissing what the other person is saying, respond in a way that invites conversation and shows that their perspective matters.
