Why do some people like to reject opinions of others?
I have been gone through this phase and I know how much it irritates too.In our company once code fix is done, we have an internal discussion with our team explaining why issue got introduced and how we fixed it. In the initial days of my work there is one colleague who keep on rejecting my fix and giving me gyan. Being a little egoistic person it used to irritate me a lot.But instead of getting irritated I started solving the issue by looking deeper into the code and understanding more about code. Now situation is completely in my hand he rarely disagrees my fix and I present my fix with confidence that others won't be having a option to reject my fix.I know I have written my answer in context to my work (coding) but I guess it applies to other areas too. The only reason he rejects your opinion would be he is able to find a fault in your proposal. If you have done enough homework covering all loop holes and present your opinion with confidence he cannot disagree with your opinion. Just don't get judgemental like he always rejects your opinion instead focus on why he is able to reject . Just don't give him a chance to find a loop hole.
Why do people crave the acceptance of those who reject them?
Some people don't have the strength to shrug off rejection. They view rejection as a personal attack on who they are, what they believe, etc. No one wants to feel as if they are unworthy of another's time, love or attention.Human beings have an innate need to belong. They like to believe they are good people with admirable traits others will be drawn to.Certain people need validation from others. They have difficulty functioning without it. When faced with rejection, it shatters their self image, causing them to question the validity of their existence. They don't have it in them to say “Well hey, fuck you, I'm great!” and walk away.It truly bothers them-- especially if they've been rejected by people they really admire. Instead of confronting the pain head on, they continue to nurse a comforting fantasy because it's better than facing a harsh, painful reality.Or they may try to change the situation so the odds are in their favor. If they don't succeed, it could cause them to spiral into a deep state of depression. No one wants to be hurt. I think Zora Neale Thurston said it best:“Sometimes I feel discriminated against but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How could any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It is beyond me!”
Why do some people reject knowledge?
Whew! Ok. Let's give this an attempt...I will have to set a qualification on the word "knowledge" as "information that has been routinely verified." The Earth is a mostly spherical object that rotates on its axis and travels around its sun.Three statements of fact, proven over and over by observation, experimentation, and after numerous repetitions of observation and experiment.Note: many things we have come to believe do not necessarily fall into my rather rigid definition.So....Fear: Likely the most common reason. The challenge some knowledge poses to our individual or collective sense of reality is traumatic. Lest we think I am just talking religion here, I point out that quantum mechanics (of which I am NO authority) seriously disturbed and disturbs the scientific community. Leading some of our greatest minds to not only fear it...but mock it too. Just look at Einstein ' s quote or Schroeder ' s Cat to see what I mean. Far from completely proven, some aspects HAVE been proven. Most adapt to new knowledge. ..some fear it.Unreasonable Doubt: or what I consider "the five-year old ' s defense." Some people will doubt with the force of a child's never ending "why? Why? WHY?" expecting that every digression of questioning is equally valid to the main idea at hand. This is not the same as stupidity. Often, these folks are merely untrained or resistant to the rigorous methods of debate and scientific methodology."Upon two people entering a room with one door and no other form if egress, and the room has been observed to be void of anyone else or outside influence, the door closes. A gunshot is heard and only one person emerges from this room. The other lies dead. It is NOT reasonable to say 'since you weren't in the room, you can't prove I shot and killed that other person.'Stupidity: As insulting as this term is, grant that I refer to 'lack of mental processing power.' Rather than merely mocking one to whom I feel superior, some people simply can't process or incorporate new information. This is not as common as some people would like to claim. However, there IS a bell curve on human intelligence and some DO fall on the far left side of that curve.I'm sure, for example, someone smarter than I can post a better and more complete answer to your question. Whether they will or not is a matter of choice. I have gone on too long already. ..Good Luck!

Why do people reject those who respect and love them and go after those who don't or do less?
Most of this behavior pattern is based on insecurities and lack of self love.This postulate does not apply to all people, but definitely leans towards the majority. People get caught in such a dynamic because deep down they believe they are unlovable or unworthy.When a person holds these kind of beliefs, they feel uneasy and uncomfortable when they meet someone who wants to be with them. After all, that person must be desperate or have something wrong with them! And people who reject or hurt, feel safe. The relationship feels right because mistreatment fits with beliefs of being unlovable or unworthy. This is how the concept of women loving bad boys originated, and how you can have chemistry with someone who isn’t good for you.”Some part of us believes that we are not worthy of getting what we want. That the person we desire is out of our reach. That we are unlovable. So we seek out situations that reflect our beliefs back to us.There’s a cycle here. You are rejected by someone who you think you want but doesn’t want you. Or you reject and thereby fulfill someone else’s need to self-validate their belief that they are unworthy of your love. Two sides of the same coin.
Why do some people reject the connection they feel for another person?
The fear of rejection.
Why are we attracted to certain people but not others?
I've always wondered this myself. I think it's a combination of what you said with the pheromones, what you've been conditioned by society to find attractive and about personality/compatibility. When you find someone you are physically attracted to and compatible with, you're all set. If we looked at this from the scientific view of pheromones, then yes, people would be practically guaranteed to like each other. But these days personality and compatibility is the main factor, not so much animal instincts. Humans are complex beings that are technically animals but have superior intelligence and have a conscience. So when you try to find the answer to a question like this you have to consider both the animalistic and instinctual factors as well as societal and conditioned factors. It's a real blend of nature and nurture together. You're trying to separate the two but there can be no separation.
