When someone changes my mind.

Whenever someone makes a point that I find to valid, and seriously challenges my existing beliefs, I don't reconsider my own beliefs. Instead, I reassert my own beliefs, no matter how stupid they might sound, and get angry.

Does anyone else do this?

    Most humans, I think. That behavior's probably the cause of a lot of today's problems.

    Pretty much what INUH said.

    Because you never know what you might see.
    I do this sometimes, but I always reconsider my beliefs afterwards and then I feel guilty if it turns out I was in the wrong.

    I think I've gotten a lot better at not doing this than I used to be, though.

    Cognitive Dissonance.

    People like to rationalize conflicting opinions.

    It's a very annoying behavior that most dumb fans or bad debaters tend to have. Instead of saying "okay" they have to fight for their point when they don't need to.

    If you change your beliefs, it means you've wasted your time being wrong. People can't have that.

    People aren't good at dealing with sunk cost fallacies.
