I can definitely get what you are saying here. It drives me absolutely crazy. This thread makes me think of this guy I used to work with. He would not
only butt in on someones conversation but he would want to know everything that was said and want an explaination if he didn't understand then tried
hard to be the center of the conversation. It drove everyone crazy, I started telling him to mind his business, and everyone else did the same. We
just stopped filling him in. He was weird too he would follow pretty female customers all around the store to not only watch them, but would come back
and tell us what she was talking about either with her friends, family or on the phone. Also accused me of raping my daughter, which was very amusing
since I don't have any kids. Weirdo for sure.
1. Why is it that most people feel that it is their business to butt in to other peoples' conversations? Is it that people think that they should get
involved even though what's being said doesn't pertain to them?
I'm thinking it's because they probably don't have many or any real friends in their lives and maybe they were considered losers in high school, so
they try to latch on to as many conversations as possible to feel as though they are part of the group. This would be my intial guess. Or they are
rude and are doing it on purpose knowing it's annoying people. I often tell people that if they don't know what the topic of conversation is about,
then why bother butting in?
2. Why is it that most people always insist that they are always correct and the rest of us are wrong?
Is it just that some people don't like being corrected by others?
Most people think their opinions are what is right and have either been taught that such opinions are the right and only way of thinking, or they have
made up their mind and they will not see anything past it, no matter if solid evidence was given to them that says they are wrong, they will keep
insisting they are correct. But some people don't like to be corrected by other just because of this.
3. What is it that causes most people to lose their cool when somebody says something that they don't agree with?
Is it that most people are just too ignorant when it comes to other peoples beliefs or standards?
It sort of goes in with what I said above. They don't like to be proven they are wrong and it gets people mad when others obviously don't agree with
what they have to say. Typical sign of low intelligence. Just like thinking that if you are trying to win an arguement by yelling louder and louder
the same thingis going to make you more right than you were when you said it when a six inch voice. Ignorance i say does play a huge role in this.
4. Why is it that some people almost always want to 'one up' other people when it comes to certain things?
Is it that some people can't stand being behind other people when it comes to things like electronics, houses, or automobile?
It's a competitive ego thing. No one ever wants to seem like they don't know something and will often pretend they know a lot about a subject, when
in fact they don't know anything at all. An example of this is when teens are talking about sex. One says he just got it for the first time, but one
friend who has never even kissed a girl or ever seen a girl naked outside of playboy will act like they have been doing it for years and with many
different women. It's all a pride thing. We see a lot of posters on this site act like they are experts in the field, when in fact they are either
mkaing it up as they go along or trying to highlight all the points they got from googling it.
5. Is it just human nature for some people to do this?
It could very well be human nature to do this, because our nature has always been competitive, be it for survival or higher paycheck. I think it has
more to do with our current society. Got to keep up and try to stay ahead of the Jones' in this society. I don't play by these rules so I never
cared.
