Why do people act so different towards me than others?
I'm an asian guy. People just act very different towards me than other people. They would be all cheerful and happy to a person but when it comes to me, they change and don't act cheerful and energetic towards me. I'm an introvert, I have social fears and phobia. I am very quiet and shy but people just act very different towards me. I've been told I look mean when I'm at my relaxing face but it doesn't mean they have to act so different to me. It really hurts.
Why are some people intolerant towards other religions?
In reality, I believe all people act tribally about their own religion. That is why we get this intolerance between religions. Religions cause a “gang” mentality in people. Christian/HIndu/Buddhist/Jew/Muslim etc. The all believe that they are the ONLY AND CORRECT way to god. Isn’t that such a stupid and childish way to think. God represents a father figure for people who need that. So basically, the religious are children fighting for the attention/affection of their father. Spirituality is really the only way to alleviate this problem. In spirituality you just believe in god, and any route to him is good.Religions cause war if you can believe the irony of that.
Why are people intolerant of others?
I can think of two possibilities: Instinct directs the inclination to group with those that one becomes familiar with from the time of their birth and to react to the unfamiliar as being potentially dangerous. Those whose circumstances make their survival difficult are more likely to see others as competing for what they see as limited resources.
Why am I becoming so intolerant towards people?
They rate of narcissism has been increasing for the past few years. It was done by increments in behavioral changes little by little over 4 years. So it’s not easy to detect. If you didn’t see someone for 4 years it’s apparent they changed in some ways, and may shock you. If you’re around them all the time you don’t notice the small day by day changes. You don’t notice the dust building up in your home till it’s obvious. Because it’s slight most people don’t notice the change, and not even in themselves.The people who have least tolerance to narcissism is the one that are doing the school shootings and the murders. It’s not only within the adults the teens, children also have behavior that’s hard to tolerate.More people will punish you because it’s a narcissistic trait. Punish for not doing what they want, give you a hard time, and validate themselves as the person of competence. Basically a lot of people will bully you, which they opposed years ago. You can look 8 years ago about what the general population concerns were, and that's exactly the hypocrisy of the general population. They didn’t like the 1% making all the money, but now they want to be the 1%. Went from caring and treating people right to narcissistic.This cycle happens often so it’s most likely not forever.
Should we be tolerant of intolerant people?
I've certainly heard this argument before, that "tolerant people are hypocrites if they don't tolerate the intolerant," ....but it's a load of crap. It's a mindfuch, for lack of an actual defense, by an intolerant person... Being a "tolerant person" does not pigeon hole anyone into a course of action to be defined by *******, especially the intolerant ones who somehow think they are in the "right" by being wrong... Being "tolerant" does not force one into a position of "Universal Tolerance" where EVERY OPINION must be tolerated, especially ones that are damaging or in favor of denying Rights. For example: I consider myself a very tolerant person, however, I see child abuse as wrong. Others can *disagree* if they want to, and their mind retains autonomy, but I'm not going to tolerate seeing a child being abused, and I'm not listening to someone tell me why it's a good thing. Some may be "of the opinion" that rape is acceptable, but I'm not tolerating a rapist.... Opinions inspire action. The Holocaust even, started with an opinion... Everything does (and should) have it's limits...
Tolerance: Why are so many people intolerant these days?
Being in an era of advanced technology has pros as well as cons,but the reasons of restlessness and being intolerant has diverse reasons-Religion-This clash occurs as since the child starts to grasp worldly things,he/she is taught about own religion and thus he/she is aware of the contemporary differences.And as till now this thing has been continued and no family has started teaching their child in a neutral way,turmoil exists.Satisfaction-In chase of BMW,AUDI,RADO etc(Premium lifestyle),man is lacking satisfaction what he has which leads to impatience and thus is reflected in daily lifePartner-youth striving for marriages of their choice,parents give their 100% to pull their children's leg in doing what they do.sexual orientation is not being respected.If child doesnot want to get married they are not free to do so.only shackles are seen around which also leads to impatience.discussion can be stretched to any extent.Need of the hour is to open our minds (be it practicing meditation or the way which makes you happy)Life will end one day.At death bed no regrets should be there.
Why are the Islamic communities so intolerant towards others?
Are they? I don't know about other extreme countries such as Saudi Arabia, but in Malaysia, the Islamic communities here are very tolerant. There are of course bad apples here and there, but the majority are very tolerant towards others.But,In recent years, there is an increase of intolerance. The Malaysian government, with the support of the Muslim majority intends to lay claim to the Arabic word for God, Allah, as exclusive only to the Muslims, and this is despite being shown that Arab Christian and Arab Jews, used the word Allah to describe God. I can only assume that it would be to the advantage of the ruling party to stay in power by playing to religious sentiments. The country has seen its Muslim majority adopt a more conservative approach on Islam, it used to be liberal.It's not so much that the conservatives are more intolerant, it's that they tend to keep amongst themselves so much that it eventually leads to intolerance. But by and large, Malaysia Muslims are very tolerant of non-Muslims. It's just that they were even more tolerant, last time.
Why do people seem to be so intolerant towards vegetarians/vegans?
The only person I know who has ever commented about me being vegetarian was my mother. She was horrified when I became a vegetarian; it went completely against her upbringing. Then, after about 16 years when I became pregnant with my first child I had to go through it all again as she assumed that I would be feeding my child meat (again, just conditioning - children need vitamins, meat has vitamins). She did not force the issue though. Basically you have to have confidence in your choice. You are a grown woman who is acting in the best interests of her child. You have every right to raise your child as a vego. Be firm and friendly. Even make a joke of it "Why would I do THAT?!" when asked why you don't feed your daughter meat. If you have a friend who waves meat in your face, ditch that friend. Don't surround yourself with negative people. Don't let the turkeys get you down! If all else fails to shut them up, just say it's none of their business. Oh and you can completely disregard the answers given by Deer Hunter, Daisy, Blairdon and Dion J. They jump on questions like this and make out that it's the vego's fault. None of them has been a vegetarian, they all get upset by young teen girls who come here and mouth off a bit (in the veg section mind you) and they all appear to have personally come across dozens of militant vegetarians and vegans in their lives. Edit: have a read of this, it's the attitude of the American Dietetics Association towards vegetarian and vegan diets http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19562864/ , here's the best bit: "...that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence...".
What makes people intolerant?
Now you know why do some people become intolerant during certain times of their lives But the question is, why are some people intolerant all the time?The more unsolved pproblem the person has the less free brain resources he will have and the more intolerant he will become.If you have three major unsolved problems in your life then your gauge will be almost full even if you were not thinking about them. Even while you are not thinking about your problems your subconscione mind will be doing its best to find solutions for them.If you are not happy with your job, you are not satisfied with your love life and in the same time have a chronic health problem then you will become much less tolerant than if you didn't have these problems.Psychological wounds and intoleranceA psychological wound is wound that is developed at a certain stage during the person's life, usually during childhood, and that makes him much more vulnerable to criticism.For example, People who have body dysnorpphic disorder have problems accepting the way they look and that's why they find rejections and negative comments unbearable.Because of the presence of that wound those people believe that they get rejected because of their looks and not because of anything else and that's why they have less tolerance to rejection and criticism
