The more I look around the more I find that people are insistant when justifying their self worth. Even if it takes making sure someone you don't agree with isn't right above you, in anyway.
If you have been a democrat all your life, and a republican shows you you may have been wrong your whole life, even if there is some form of evidence that this is true, to avoid doubting your self worth, you protect it by insisting something is wrong with this republican.
Isn't that the case sometimes? You fear what you don't understand. If you didn't fear opposing views, you'd be able to reason. So you are a coward of being found out. You look in the mirror and the person you look at starts doubting what it sees.
Your dady made you feel you were better than others, or a girlfriend and now you refuse to think they were wrong and that you are great. You jump in a group mentality where that feeling of yourself stays correct, and surround yourself with people that continue to believe in you, thats what makes fence sitters a threat so even FS are out of your circle of friends.
Why is it so easy for me to find people saying "I hate fence sitters"? Even though we may side with you a lot, we will point out your faults that you refuse to understand. It's why my favorite insult is "get over yourself". You can say it to me, but it doesn't make me feel bad. I am often over myself. I'm on the floor and observing myself above on a fence, if you get the metaphor.
Just voicing my opinion. Get mad only if I say I'm only stating facts.
I'm willing to listen, it's what I've done my whole life, or else I wouldn't constantly be on the fence about things.
Share your ops. Don't see this thread as a personal attack on anyone. It's just me saying I wish people would quit it with being insstantly close minded because they think they put lifes puzzle together.
You thinking you got life figured out is more of defence mechanism than a fact. It helps you be in harmany about yourself and the people you know.
I know I got in trouble for a post like this before, but try not to see this as an attack at the org or org members. I also got in trouble for this.. Go look up the definition of groupthink. Its not a bad thing and creates harmony. It even doesn't allow people to critically analize themselves. It's good, it's peaceful.
Sorry to say though I am not a strong participant of groupthink or the bandwagon effect. That's why I piss others off. I love to question mentality.
I am a fence sitter, so I lack the understanding as well as how good it feels to be in groupthink. I don't get as well as others groupthink mentality. I haven't been in it long enough.
I've been in it before, but my need to question everything has made me have a fallout with it, and has destroyed a lot of peaceful conformaty in my life.
So I feel for you people who are the most involved in groupthink. In life, when you get on the fence it's not always fun. Trust me though it can be, it feeds your curriosity and can creat good decisions. Though understanding what is a good decision could be hard. Me personally, I've at times thought I was making a good decision and found out I wasn't
You swim in a world of gray as long as I have and it can be the hardest place to be. If I want I can jump on one of the bandwagons life has to offer. I'm disapointed that I haven't.
tl:dr I know, but that's the mentality I've been talking about this whole time.
And sorry, I typed this up with my iphone, so I don't bother spellckecking or fixing writting errors. Just hope for the best.
Thank you for your time.
