Unable to see both sides

Hi,

I’ve had mental health issues for most of my life and have done a heap of therapy. One thing I’ve learned is how to do is see both, or more, sides of a situation or argument.

Instead of being seen as enlightened and wise I’ve found I get called a fence sitter with no principles. Often the “you’re with us or against us” response is used in response.

It fascinates me that most people today are unable to do this.
