By "big questions" I mean opinions that are deal breakers in a friendship or a relationship if there are such to you at all. Like, opinions about euthanasia, suicide, religion, natalism or antinatalism, abortion, politics, lgbt+, and a lot of other stuff...
As for me, I just can't stand it when I have to treat someone who thinks differently about SOME of those topics as a friend. Not all of them. I've genuinely tried to overcome this and speak about "neutral" topics, but it's obvious that the conversations just go flat, because there is not much to talk about and I don't find pleasure in getting stressed about something when I'm not in the mood for another argument. The confrontation is sort of always in the air. I also feel like a hypocrite when being polite by tolerating it. They are free to think anything, but they can't be my friend.
What about you? People talk a lot about connecting with others despite any differences but I don't see it as a real option.
