Everyone should have their own opinion. Only in this case can a person have individuality, stand out from others, be unique.
Of course, he wants all this. He can analyze what is happening, he can draw conclusions. But he will have problems expressing his point of view.
An individual may be too harsh, may be aware of it, understand that he offends others. But such a situation can always be corrected. You can express your opinion and not hurt other people's feelings. To do this, you need to follow several pieces of advice, use some techniques.
Don't get personal
You can start telling your interlocutor that he is somehow different, that he reasons incorrectly. But all this will definitely cause rejection. It is better to focus on your feelings, start talking about them.

Ask open-ended questions
It is important to remember that no one can read someone else's mind. This means that you should not hint at something. If you want to know something, you should ask direct, open questions. For example, you should not say "Have you spoken to the director?", but replace this question with "What did the director say?"

Choose place and time

Also, you should not have serious conversations if the opponent is tired, depressed, or feels unwell. In such a case, communication will not be effective.
More specifics
It is necessary to act according to a certain method, scheme. To begin with, it is worth stating your position, do it briefly. Then you will need to justify it, indicate the reason why you have to think in the described way, justify it.
