Why do people ask questions for validation instead of in search of the truth or honest opinion?

Why do people feel upset if you disagree with them especially if they asked for an opinion?

Out of curiosity, have you ever taken a basic psychology course at the college level? You seem to like the subject.
 
In college once. I’m not against emotion but I feel it gets in the way. I’m not stoic in person at all. Heart on my sleeve type. Being this timid, sensitive, transparent, and emotional is a curse. I’ve always wondered why I’m made this way. Most of my family isn’t half as sensitive as me.

Perhaps you would benefit from learning more. You are asking some pretty basic psychology and philosophy questions in your search for self discovery. Attacking the problems you feel you face scientifically and gathering information might give you the ability to understand them, if not control them better.
 
I started seeing a therapist. It’s scary. I’m a little annoyed I can’t be perfect. Is that okay? I get irritable, moody, impatient. I feel like I’m sinning anytime I’m not perfectly willing to help someone or feel annoyed by a person’s presence or I feel hurt when someone disagrees or dislikes something I’m wildly passionate about. I feel emotionally immature.
 
I think that’s a good thing that you are seeing a therapist. I believe at some point in everyone’s life they need help with something. Good for you.

Its a good thing. If you’re curious about yourself, it’s probably the best place you can be.
 
Hello.

Everyone wants to be loved and accepted. I think every question is always asking something other that what it appears to be asking. Just my opinion.
 
There is so much about me I’d like to believe weren’t true. I’m naturally expressive and transparent. It would be cool to be stoic and mysterious. Always calm, cool and collected.
 
Doesn’t mean I don’t need more polishing. You know kinder, less entitled, more tolerant, more humble, less superficial, less self absorbed, less stubborn, more realistic. I suppose that will come with time
 
Some see this as weakness. I’m not tough enough to deal with the real world because I’m thin skinned and sensitive. I should be able to handle stuff on my own. Only week or the feeble minded need therapy
 
Nope. If anyone has an issue, talking it out IN REAL LIFE is necessary.
“Some people” think everything can be solved online simply because when the conversation gets close to home, or real, they can just X-OUT of the convo and change nothing.
