Self-Inflicted

Why do a lot of people here get all defensive when they hear an opinion from someone who they do not yet know personally? Let me give you an example: at work, when you are about to collaborate with another organization, there are always people who have to spoil it with "no, we do things here this way, and that's the only way we're gonna do it because it's the way we've been doing it all along." Note that their statements will always have the mandatory 'no' as the first word even when they haven't fully grasped the idea presented to them. The 'no' will always be there because remember, it's mandatory. Another example could be observed in more 'social' places like in local bars or cafes. Why do people tend to huddle around in their own little groups? None of that mixing and mingling going on. Is this a safety in numbers issue? Or a lack of individualism issue? Or resistance to change? No wonder we keep listening to 'You to me are everything' and 'I will survive'. If I view the world like my friends do, like the people I'm familiar with do, then I am at least, safe. Please don't blast me because I have an ugly, unfamiliar face to you; the kind you've never seen before. Blast my ideas. They taste better when pulverized.
