Why do some people get offended when others don't agree with them?

Question

this is a Allegorical question....but i'm still looking for answers.

Answer 1

These answers are really robotic.

I will disagree with everyone once again.

A person who SEEMS to be offended, because you don't see their reasoning and come to the same conclusions, may have no "emotional imbalance" at all. This defensive judgment should be reserved for schoolyard bullies. And even there it is Quite debateable whether the aggressive child misbehaves from lack of self-esteem.

2 things in a standard debate seem clear:
1) An "offended" person may be frustrated by their inability to deliver their argument with demonstrative aplomb. The intuitions they call upon and the steps they take may not convince, though such a person knows there is a way to prove what they are saying. This does not seem to be a case of real offense, when the audience chooses not to believe, but the SAME behavior of 'one who is truly offended' may come to pass, nonetheless.

2) The debator SEEMS offended because the audience fails to see the proof of the argument. The presentation could not be better, and the most ridiculoss, naive skepticisms or terribly formed counter-arguments abound. In most cases, I doubt a person would seem offended. But I can imagine many where she does~ namely when something great is at stake. And it is not, again, so much a matter of the debator, who is Right, being offended and seeking retribution, but that she feels the gravity of the issue merits serious, emphatic reassessment. Not for her own sake, but for all parties involved.


You may find yourself THINKING a debator is offended when he offers you very extreme cases to consider, but it's simply not always true. Reason hinges on the persuasive capacity to exclude and marginalize beliefs on the basis of absurdity.

Barring name-calling, which may often be deserved of the indignant, the dogmatist, the internalist, the cartesian-- such pejoratives are available because holding such systems of belief are notoriously incoherent, the debator should be heard through and through, and not simply tossed aside because you feel bullied. A definite amount of anguish is a part of the process.

Answer 2

i'm a non secular jew. firstly, the project stems from lots of people who're nicely suited or left wing extremists who insist that if this isn't any longer their way, this is the line. the project is that as quickly as the mainstream muslims dont arise and denounce the strikes of the extremists, every person gets the incorrect thought with regard to the mainstream. my own opinion of muslims is irrelivent, yet that's the perfect reason. although, to be sensible, peace between the countries will never take place as long as all of those terrorist assaults ensue. u would desire to comprehend this and every person would desire to comprehend this besides. a prerequisit for conversing approximately peace is ppl appearing with peace. that it is the 1st step. so this is totally effective to ask why ppl cant have recognize for each whilst u ought to already comprehend that the respond is violence and terrorism.

Answer 3

Because they lack the neural capacity to argue their point logically.

They fail to see the reason behind their opposition and a state of confusion ensues. Their lack of neural ability results in poor reasoning- thus arrive to the conclusion that they have been offended.

Answer 4

People always want to be right. It's a natural instinct I think. People think that when someone disagrees with them, they're making personal attacks on beliefs just as Chelle said.

Answer 5

its called soap box syndrom, its a tragity really some people can not just put themselves in someone else's shoues or even attempt to have an open mind. people like that are about as low as it gets on the intelligance level because everything needs to be black and white with them or else they can't understand it.

Answer 6

because people are closed minded.
They cant carry on an intelligent conversation and discuss ideas .
To them life is a competition of being better than,and being right.

And most who are offended are idiots repeating things they have heard from others, making them their own with no concious thought of their own.

Answer 7

Some people take other's disagreeing with them as an attack on their personal beliefs and values. Simply stated: they're overly defensive and reactive.

Answer 8

Because most people believe themselves only .
Because most people self-centre only.
Because most people disagree the different voices.
Because most people are not satisfied any other thing.
Because most people don't tolerance other people's mistake.
Because most people using offencive action to cover their fear.
Because answer too many "because',too many " people "too many " too many" .Those are the factors can make people mad.

Answer 9

Maybe because I go out of my way to offend people to make them think about how freakin' STOOOOOOPID they are.

"Gonna sing those songs that offend the censors,
Pop my pills from a PEZ dispenser."

Answer 10

Because humans want to be right all the time...just like you tried to do by posing the question.

if you disagree then I dare you to say something wrong...not "incorrect" but wrong. You can't...even if you lie you know it's a lie and you're "being right" to know it's a lie.

All assertion are "righteous".
