Typo: why are some people so opinionated

[Novacane]

Because a lot of people like to believe that their opinions are their truth regardless of how wrong they are. So it turns into the fact not reflecting my opinion therefore it has to be wrong because my truth says otherwise

Pride , one of the seven deadliest sins. The narcissistic narrative of people will close their minds to other forms of thinking besides their own

If this is about GaG it’s a Q and A platform. If it’s about life… maybe they spend too much time on GaG?

Because ego is the enemy that lives within us all. Both men and women carry this weakness... Emotions have ways of controlling rational thought.
Basically when people form opinions they are forming ideals about themselves, which makes it very hard to change someone's opinion.
If you ask me anyone who's not open to listening to other opinions and possibly admitting that they are wrong... Immature people I don't want to surround myself with

They need validation to feel like they are worth something

The irony of this though… you’re asking why are people so opinionated on an app where people give their input/opinions towards people’s questions

I’ve noticed some want to start a debate for some reason

[whirled_up_girl]

@BarryLiverstone I've noticed that too, and some of it seems to be legitimate friendly debate but other times it just seems like people want to argue with someone and say the meanest things possible. I haven't been on here that long maybe six months but I didn't seem that way as much when I started, or maybe I just wasn't getting those posts in the live feed.

The first thing I will do is agree with you, you are right they say mean things and don’t seem friendly. And right there is part of my findings which is they will never agree with something you said and will try to gaslight you or make you appear incompetent as a debating tactic. I enjoy friendly discussions because often I can learn someone or see a different perspective. But they seem to play a game and when I have literally said ‘ok you win’ they seem happy as if that was the whole point.

Haven’t seen this behavior irl so guessing because trolls can do so online with no consequences they find it entertaining. I just feel sad for them overall.

Everyone has "life experiences" and based on their own experiences they have learned from them... So different people have different opinions, and they are right, based on their own experiences

[driven159]

because they think everything on the internet is true

[iJokeTeeth]

They don't like being wrong

[jshm2]

That's what atheism does to you, kiddo.
