Respectfully disagreeing

Produce phrases to respectfully disagree in conversations

Respectfully disagreeing is an important way to participate in a conversation without offending others.

Respectfully disagreeing
“I’m sorry but I have to disagree with you…” “I’m not sure I agree with you…”
“I don’t think you and I have the same opinion on this issue.” “I’m afraid I disagree.”
“I see what you are saying, but…” “I understand what you are saying, however…”
“You have a valid point, but…” “I can see why you think that, however…”

Validating the opinion of others is important when disagreeing.

A difference of opinion is not personal.
