expressed an opinion to a friend. It did not go well.

so many opinions these days, not enough thinking and consideration

well, I did think and consider.

sure that you did.

being misunderstood is a terrible feeling.

Oh, I'm so sorry. That can be so hard.

More people could agree to disagree and to learn from each other's perspective.

so sorry

very much suggesting a lack of thinking and consideration on the part of the one who misunderstood rather the one who was misunderstood.
