Yes, td, it's the LRT. But that's ok, because it gives you a second chance at a first impression.
'Agreeing' isn't the right thing to do, but reminding her of the distance between you and the disagreements also aren't. You don't want to say 'I'm sorry you feel that way'. That is actually invalidating.
Just listen. Try to really understand her when she's talking, bring it out. But only when you can really do it without interjecting your hurt and disagreement. It's really hard, especially at first, and it DOES feel counterintuitive.
