why are people as such?

Question

i am just wondering..i argued with a classmate of mine, we both had different views and i was keep on saying things which were the reality..she wasnt letting me speak nor she was trying to understand what i was trying to say...all she was doing was give her views...
why dont people let another person say anything so they can listen to their view and think and answer, rather then not understand the reality and say something which is far nt true

Answer 1

If you can do waht you suggested she should do, then you are strong in your ego. You are capable of not only listening, but taking the risk that you have been wrong and stand to be corrected.
This person sounds very weak, and there is no point to argue.
Yes her to death until she tires of it. Ignore her as soon you get the chance. She really does mean it, and if you have compassion for her weakness, you might not be even annoyed.
And thank yourself for being comfortable in your own skin.

Answer 2

You need to ask your self why its so important to you to know others think you are right. Why do you care if someone else does not agree with you? As long as you know you are right, that is enough! Remember this: What other people think is their own problem. We can only change our own minds, not the minds of others.

Answer 3

lots of reasons - pride, selfishness, denial, self righteousness, hate, immaturity, inexperience, naivety, needing attention, etc. we're humans its what we do in our own little ways. i've learned that sometimes its better to let it go and walk away. the truth will always come out in the end, and with people like that its usually the hard way...its how we learn humility!

Answer 4

you should study marshall rosenberg's nonviolent communication.
or reflective listening.
they are skills. we are not born knowing how to do this.
our culture doesn't teach us good listening skills.
learn empathy. learn to understand others.
you can start it. trust me others will follow suit.
