My feelings cannot respect opinions
For some reason, when people say opinions that differ from mine, or are out of the norm (and against mine), I start to get defensive and find logical arguments against their viewpoints. If not, I feel that I have to concede and accept that their opinion is true. It's like that there are no opinions allowed, and only what is true can be said.
In addition, my mind also seems to think that people agreeing or giving thumbs-up to someone's opinions alone makes it sound more valid and credible. For example, if someone says something utterly stupid and it gets many thumbs up, I start to get extra defensive. I get the feeling that in this case,
Logically, I know that everyone has an opinion on something and not everyone has to agree on them, but for some reason, my mind tells me that nobody's opinion is to be respected (not even my own) and that only something entirely truthful is permitted. Either they are ignorant, or I am ignorant. No compromise.
Is this normal to constantly get these thoughts/feelings?
