Intolerant people may have their own specific personality traits, but due to their rigid style of thinking, they share the same traits. What is the manifestation of intolerance? In refusal to agree with someone else's opinion, in the absence of tolerance and compassion, even for loved ones. The intolerant person seems to be against everyone and against everything. It is quite difficult to communicate with such, and for many it is simply impossible.
Here are some common traits of intolerant people.
Fanaticism
When an intolerant person defends his position, it comes to real fanaticism. He can argue for hours with foam at the mouth, and discuss religious topics or, say, political, he absolutely cannot, without resorting to extremes. An intolerant person is sure that only his opinion is correct, and this applies to absolutely any situation. But the truth is that he is trying to impose his worldview on others!
Psychological rigidity
Everything new and unfamiliar causes fear in an intolerant person. This means that he is generally devoid of psychological flexibility. Therefore, it is so difficult for him to accept that others may have completely different views on this life. They don't even try to change anything, but stick only along their own path, while fighting off others, which adds to their experiences and anxiety.
Lack of knowledge in a know-it-all image
An intolerant person has an opinion and a vision of the situation on absolutely everything. And it seems to him that he needs to constantly fend off people with different views. Therefore, he can invent a lot of non-existent facts that he passes off as truth, pretending to be versed in a particular area of knowledge. In fact, he may be absolutely far from what he is trying to prove, completely ignorant and incompetent. If he is cornered, he may turn to attacks and aggression.
A superficial simple world
An intolerant person sees the world exclusively in two colors - black and white. And there are two opinions on any situation - right and wrong, and, of course, the right one is his. He needs certainty and confidence, even if it's all unfounded.
Craving for routine
Due to the fact that an intolerant person is afraid of everything unknown to him, he does not tolerate any surprises and spontaneity. He has a craving for routine, familiar things, which gives him a sense of peace and confidence. But if something goes wrong, he can fall into a real depression.
Relationship problems
An intolerant person has problems in relationships with everyone, be it colleagues at work, friends, or a significant other. Because he wants to dominate, always be right, prove his point of view. Over time, only passive and weak-willed people who have low self-esteem and whom you can always impose your opinion on remain with him. Otherwise, it is very difficult for him to maintain a relationship. You can call an intolerant person a real manipulator!
Envy
The intolerant person has some extreme form of envy. When he realizes that his opinion, his point of view does not lead to any shifts, and people around him succeed, and they achieve success, he begins to fall into depression. He becomes anxious, aggressive, because everything that happens simply does not fit into his concepts. And envy bursts out, deep, fervent and destructive.
If you notice such traits in yourself, then start fighting them today. Life is one, and it is not necessarily black or white, it has many shades, and you yourself can make it pleasant, and yourself happy!
