People don’t like changing their minds because it feels uncomfortable and sometimes scary. When we believe something for a long time, it becomes part of who we are. So, when new facts come up that don’t match what we believe, our brain tries to protect us by ignoring or explaining away those facts instead of accepting them.

This is called confirmation bias — we pay more attention to things that agree with what we already think and ignore things that don’t.

Also, when we see evidence that goes against our beliefs, it creates a feeling of unease called cognitive dissonance. To stop feeling this way, it’s easier for our brain to keep believing what we already believe rather than accept new information.

A long time ago, sticking with the beliefs of our group helped us feel safe and connected. Changing beliefs too quickly could make us feel isolated.

So, changing what we believe takes time and trust. It helps when people feel safe, not judged, and when new ideas are shared gently.

I can say that I completely agree with what you say. Change is inevitable. Thanks bro.
