Some individuals dismiss those with different opinions due to various psychological and behavioral factors. Here are some of the key types of people and associated reasons:

Individuals with a high need for control or superiority: People who prioritize being right or having their opinions affirmed may struggle to accept alternative perspectives. This can be fueled by low self-esteem and a need to maintain a sense of superiority, according to Sunshine City Counseling. They might feel threatened by differing viewpoints, perceiving them as a challenge to their authority or knowledge.

Those with an authoritarian personality: These individuals often adhere to rigid societal norms and may react with hostility toward those who challenge traditional values or exhibit different beliefs or behaviors. Their intolerance can be particularly pronounced when they perceive a threat to group unity or the established order. (OOH BOY IS THIS YOU)

Individuals with narcissistic tendencies: Narcissistic individuals have a grandiose sense of self and may view their opinions as inherently superior. They can be very defensive when confronted with differing viewpoints, often resorting to tactics like denial, projection, or gaslighting to maintain their perceived infallibility.

People susceptible to cognitive biases, particularly confirmation bias: Everyone is susceptible to cognitive biases, which are mental shortcuts that can lead to skewed perceptions and decisions, according to PositivePsychology.com. Confirmation bias, in particular, describes the tendency to seek out, interpret, and remember information that confirms pre-existing beliefs, while dismissing contradictory evidence. This can lead to a narrow understanding of an issue and difficulty in considering alternative perspectives.

People who engage in emotional invalidation: This dismissive behavior disregards or belittles the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of others. It can stem from various causes like childhood experiences, insecurity, or lack of emotional awareness, and it can have damaging effects on the recipient's self-esteem and relationships, according to camentalhealth.com.
