Why are people so adamant?

No i don't think so that people who are adamant don't care for others feeling or doesn't love you back. Someway you can say that their Ego will get in the way but not all the time.It is just that sometimes they don't realize that they are being adamant or rude disregarding what the other is saying but they do think about it later. Some people don't want to hear they are wrong.Its their nature while some are really flexible with opinions.

Some people are quite bigoted in their views and I have also come across such people. There are others who would always like to score points over the opponent. Adamant behavior is caused not only by bad upbringing but also by continuous nurturing .Say for e.g. a girl is very adamant, if she is by nature a very badly brought up arrogant person, she will not change. But this behavior can be curbed if no one pays heed to her request and she is treated by dirt by one and all. If she is fortunate to get married to a soft guy who is very tolerant and friendly her life is made and she continues to be the merry spoilt little brat she started her life as... Some people never change till the day they die and this is caused because the close family is very tolerant of the person. Adamant men and women must never get married if they are determined not to give personal space to their partner. Adamant children must be dealt with in a very skillful manner; but theirs is the outcome of a faulty upbringing. Now to your questions Why do people behave so? What are the reasons for being so adamant about something? Is it all about 'Ego'? They behave this way because they have been encouraged to behave like this and no one dared give them a slap when it really was called for. It is about 'ego'; they have a king-sized ego and think they can never be wrong. Is it because they want to stand on their points even after knowing they are wrong? Sometimes people we love behave so. Does it mean they don't love you back? Admitting to their faults is a big loss of face for them and they cannot bear the blow they receive on their king-sized ego. They ‘love’ you less than what you do. Theirs is more a need based love and it would depend on favors rendered. True love would always listen and not be adamant.

Human nature is a very complicated thing my friend. Why do any of us do the things we do when they so obviously go against what is right and good? If everyone lived and behaved in the right way and treated each other with love and respect then we would be living in a perfect world and that will never happen. It's sad but true.

dear anna, Sometimes it is their pride. Most people who are egoistic stands firm with their principle. Sometimes it is due to hardness,dumbness and crooked principle. have a great day

I just want to start by saying I really don't think love has anything to do with it... I do believe some people are what my Grandmother use to call "Hard headed",,and they do and/or don't want to give any other benefit of the doubt..some just like the task of arguing with for the drama...some of them really don't even believe what they are even argueing about...

I believe that them just don't want to be wrong. I don't want to be wrong either but it's good to grant that I'm wrong. I remember when my brother always said that something is something even though it was totally wrong. It is funny to watch when people grant their mistakes after long debate!

I think it is all about how someone is raised and what their beliefs are. If you are told something long enough and enough times you tend to believe it and even if you or i may think that what they are saying or doing is wrong they may think the same as us and think we are the ones that are wrong. If it is something like breaking the law and knowing it is wrong I think that is a few things either they don't care, they weren't taught the difference or the have a mental condition that doesn't allow them to realize the difference between right or wrong.

In life its hard to just follow one's view. Living with a group of people needing us to give and take. But if they just want us to follow them no matter what and refused to listen to others then I would assume that's what we called as ego. maybe they thought they are right for all this while. For people like this, someone else should come in and make them realize that they are not always true.

Exactly.You have very rightly dubbed the tendency their ego.If you point out their mistakes,they would not accept it and go on committing the same mistake again and again.Actually they don't want to accept the truth that they are wrong.You love them and so want them not to commit mistakes.So you warn them,but they take the warning wrongly.They see it as an attack on their ego.But I don't think this type of behavior has anything to do with love.Being adamant does not mean that they don't love you.
