Difference of opinion disorder?

[waht]

When two individuals have a difference of opinion, especially about politics or religion, then they get furious, aggressive and become your worst enemy.

On the other hand, if you know someone or even a stranger that shares similar view then you, then automatically you get the feeling he is your best friend for the time being.

Not sure if this is a case of narcism, as posted in the other thread, but I have noticed a lot of ordinary people displaying these traits.

I'm wondering if this has a correct name and also what are the casues of this?

Birds of a feather flock together.

People normally tend to seek out the company of those that think like they do. This is normal behavior.

Narcissism is the love of ones own self.

Difference of opinion disorder is not a recognized mental health disorder. It is more of a colloquial term used to describe the intense emotional reactions and behaviors that can occur when individuals hold opposing views, particularly in sensitive or polarizing topics such as politics or religion. It is not a clinical diagnosis and should not be used to label or stigmatize individuals who may have strong opinions or beliefs.

In reality, having different opinions is a natural part of human interaction and can lead to healthy debates and discussions. It is only when these differences become extreme and lead to aggressive or hostile behavior that it becomes a problem.

The cause of such behavior can vary from person to person. It could be due to a lack of emotional regulation skills, a need for validation and recognition, or even underlying insecurities and fears. It is important to remember that everyone has their own unique perspective and experiences that shape their beliefs and opinions. It is not fair or productive to label someone as having a "difference of opinion disorder" simply because they hold different views than us.

It is important to learn how to respectfully disagree and engage in productive discussions, rather than becoming aggressive or hostile towards those with opposing views. This requires empathy, open-mindedness, and effective communication skills. Seeking understanding and finding common ground can help bridge the gap between different opinions and foster a more harmonious society.
