Take your time you have plenty of it and all will go well or you. You may want to research a technique called 'Blamestorming' which is a workplace solution to disagreements. I was taught this in the 90s in a workplace training course.
There was a workbook.
DR has a section on disagreements.
I also suggest you review the NLP technique called mirroring to show empathy. Whenever possible friendly neighbour with 'sticky' eyes is great for rapport. If that's too hard look between the eyebrows when you talk to others.
These helpful styles can be used in many sitches with friends, coworkers and family members.
