When individuals strongly identify with their opinions, they may experience a deep sense of personal affront when faced with differing viewpoints. This reaction can trigger feelings of defensiveness, as if their very identity is being challenged. Consequently, they may resist considering alternative perspectives, clinging tightly to their beliefs rather than engaging in open dialogue. This dynamic of perceived hostility towards their self-image can create barriers to meaningful communication and understanding.
