Are you a closed thinker?
By this I mean: not receptive to the other side of the conversation, not self critical, but are quick to point out the faults of others. Do you NOT disclose any information about yourself, by opening up in a conversation, letting others see the true inter you.
I don't consider myself to be a closed thinker. I consider myself to be open minded. Sometimes I do experiments to see who is right and who is wrong. However I am often not receptive to the other side of the conversation and I am quick to point out faults in others. Being open mined has its limits.
Often I am not receptive to what closed minded people are saying because it does not make sense to me. There is no reason to consider what they said and test to see if they are correct when I am sure they are wrong. I try different things to learn but trying some things seems pointless. A close minded overweight person keeps telling me that I should eat less. I am not overweight. He does not listen to me when I say that he should exercise more and I don't listen to him when he says I should eat less.
I don't mind when others see the real me in many ways if I have to keep a part of private so be it

Why are the folks at Catholic Answers forums so closed-minded when anyone critiques Pope Francis?Pope Francis is a human being. He is not God and therefore the Pope is not infallible, yet modern Catholic apologists treat him as if every word or action flowing from his mouth is beyond question.

What is your sexual orientation (if you don't mind me asking)?I have always been an open person; I believe people can fall in love and have sex with absolutely anyone (because love and sex feels good and everyone wants to feel good). I have never identified with a specific sexual orientation. I...

Do you think that because someone has chosen religion, they are closed-minded people?Once you choose what you believe, there is nothing else. Does this make you closed-minded?
