 yes conflict with their dump mindset
they can only feel emotions 
 It doesn't feel good but it is about establishing a return to reality 
 Truth is always a conflict when it contradicts the said person's worldview.  
 When needing to tell someone hard truth you often learn they don't live in reality

and if presented in a way they *cannot* be ignored they are usually received with hostility.

Most of us anyway. It takes a lot of intentional work to look into the blind spots. 
 This is true 
 In personal discussions as well actually… 
 Personally, I would replace “can often” with “Will most often”
