"For some people, the fact that someone might disrespect an identity that they feel important, or a cause that they feel important, is enough of a con that they can't consider them as a friend," says Marisa Franco, psychologist and friendship expert.

"I'm married to a person I disagree with on almost a daily basis," the 44-year-old Connecticut resident says.

"I had a friend who knew me and my family since 1983 drop any communication, friendship because I didn’t support (former president) Trump in his re-election bid," the New York resident says.

In case you missed: Patton Oswalt reflects on Dave Chappelle friendship, disagreeing on transgender rights.

In the case of Oswalt and Chappelle – and any celebrity, for that matter – there's only so much the public can understand about who these people are. .

So they need to feed us and bring us joy," says Shasta Nelson, friendship expert

Be prepared to accept your friend – warts and all. "It's unrealistic to think that we can find people who agree with us on every single thing, and that we all grow and change our minds and opinions at the same pace at the same time," Nelson says

Staying in the relationship could help your friend grow further, could help you practice your own capacity for compassion and overall could foster a world where conversation is more likely to happen, Nelson says

As Nelson says: "We can't just keep cutting out every single person who disappoints us or hurts us."
