Why do people push their opinions on others?

I mean to the point where is someone has a different opinion they get upset and/or smart off to the person. I think it's immature and argumentative! I say, as long as no harm is coming to anyone, to each their own. This gets me MORE upset than someone with a different opinion actually.

I AGREE....i think people who have so much to say; & give without second thoughts of what they know, are the people who just like to be heard & not realize that they should practice what they preach! we all do things differently and thats what helps us out in our own seperate lives, so thats why people with opinions on things they really should keep to themselves should not matter.

Oh I agree. I'm talking about stating in in a way that if for sure going to offend the other person for no reason. I'm a blunt person myself so I say what I think, but some people have no tact! Calling someone stupid for their opinion, or saying the other person is wrong, etc. etc. is what I'm talking about. : )

Are you talking about online or real life? I agree to an extent but I don't see anything wrong with debate or pointing out the bleeding obvious.

*example!*
"I think people who eat carrots are just weird. I find it strange and annoying, especially if they do it in public. It's kinda ok if they do it at home before bed, but still not appropriate. Carrots are just unnecessary, there's plenty of nutrients in other food. If they eat carrots in public it's offensive, they should hide their shame. Just my opinion."

I happen to like carrots and think they are healthy and I'm not ashamed to eat them anywhere. If someone posted this online or said it to my face then yes I would challenge them despite them saying 'just my opinion' as if that makes it ok. Differences of opinion are fine, but when someone publicly states that their opinion is that I (and others) am doing wrong by my child then I believe it is harmful.
