Do you think that it's really important to see eye to eye with your friends or is it OK to disagree? I think it’s always pleasure to see eye to eye with friends, but it may be difficult if you’re living in different places now. In this case it’s better to call or write letters than not hear from your friends anything.

Do you think that it's really important to see eye to eye with your friends, or is it OK to disagree?

I think it’s always a pleasure to see eye to eye with friends, but it may be difficult if you’re living in different places now.* In this case it’s better to call or write letters than not hear from your friends at all.

* I wonder why "living in different places now" makes it more difficult to "see eye to eye"? To "see eye to eye" means to agree about something, or agree about many things. Distance should not affect that, should it? https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/see%20eye%20to%20eye

Perhaps seeing friends "face to face" is on your mind? This is when you meet friends in person. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/face-to-face

Cognitive dissonance. We do know quite a lot from social psychology research about issues that come up when we like people or are friends with people, but find we don't agree with them about something important.

I think it’s always a pleasure to see eye to eye with friends, but it may be difficult if you're living in a different place than them now. In that case it’s better to call or write letters than to not hear anything from your friends anything.

thanks

I agree. Eye to Eye

It depends on the kind of the friendship nothing can be generalized
