It happens when:
1) I do not take it as a possibility that I might be wrong and the other person may be right.
2) I am not willing to let go of the ideas that I have been believing in. When I hold a reverence-for-the-past attitude and consider every new idea a blasphemy!
3) I am not willing to listen to the arguments the other person is presenting to support his point of view
4) I am unable to distinguish between a logical argument and an emotional blackmail
5) I am reluctant to use my own head and willing to blindly follow my religious leaders
6) I don't know why I should believe a particular idea? My beliefs have never been preceded by a thought process i.e. when I am just a believer by birth not a believer by choice.
