Currently, subjective opinion is the most fashionable trend in the process of personal expression. In order to appear modern, the individual must always look at what is happening from a personal point of view. This provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your uniqueness in any situation … Unfortunately, recently the newfangled IMHO (deciphered as follows: I have an opinion, I want to voice it) has flooded the information space and replaced the culture of public expression and thought, craving for reliable knowledge, respectful attitude towards interlocutors and adequate perception of reality.
Why has a purely subjective opinion become so popular? It is quite simple to explain the reasons for this phenomenon, if we understand the psychological state of modern society.
Claim to originality
Opinion is a manifestation of consciousness in the form of a judgment that expresses a subjective assessment. It comes from the needs and hobbies of the individual, the system of his values. Therefore, a subjective opinion is an expression of what a personseems, appears, appears. It is important to remember this when we read or hear the point of view of the interlocutor. By revealing his opinion to us, a person demonstrates his own inner state.
Keep your sanity
Even if it seems to you one hundred percent that the interlocutor is wrong, try not to get personal. It can never be ruled out that there is still some truth in what is being said. This happens when a person has certain knowledge about the subject, he is competent in what is being discussed and argues his position. Otherwise, his subjective opinion is the so-called hummock of view, a judgment based on emotions and rumors.
Negative changes
It is important to consider the fact that opinion is a natural form of realization of human consciousness, activated through unconscious motives. In the process of forming a worldview, it plays one of the leading roles. The sad trend of our time is such that IMHO, being, in fact, a taste, personal, situational perception, is trying to take the place of a true fundamental variant of the characterization of ongoing events.
Psychology to help us
Does a person have the ability to clearly distinguish between subjective and objective opinion? Yes. Understanding the principle of operation of the internal mechanisms that activate the unconscious will allow you to separate the wheat from the chaff, learn to distinguish the one who thinks from the one who knows.
The postulates of system-vector psychology have become for many an accurate tool fordissection of human souls. Thanks to systemic psychoanalysis, it is possible to objectively evaluate one or another mental manifestation of an individual. An integral eight-dimensional matrix of the psyche device helps in this process.
Shaping mechanism
A subjective opinion is a point of view formulated situationally, spontaneously. It expresses the state of a person as a reaction to the influence of an external factor. Psychologists note that the influence of an external stimulus is secondary - the basis for the formation of a personal opinion is the internal state of the individual. That is why even in different situations the form and nature of personal statements can be unchanged. We can observe this phenomenon in all its glory in the vastness of the Global Network. So, sexually or socially frustrated individuals leave comments of the same nature to articles on various topics, proudly calling their criticism newfangled IMHO.
Weapon to destroy the intellect
How to understand subjective opinion? First you need to understand that it distorts the truth and for the most part is a delusion. This is what many ancient thinkers believed. Modern psychologists distinguish a dead-end type of behavior. So, the individual thinks something like this: “If they say so, then it is so. Hundreds of people just won't talk like that. Thus, a pathological economy of one's own mental efforts is achieved, and they are simply necessary for a critical attitude to the subjective opinion of others. Trusting other people's words is not the best option.
Opinion begins where knowledge ends. Indeed, often the notorious IMHO is just a form of expression of intellectual backwardness, weakness.
If a person does not understand his own mistakes and becomes more and more convinced that he is right, the feeling of superiority over others grows rapidly and grows stronger in him. That is why we so often see incompetent people who confidently consider themselves professionals speak loud phrases. At the same time, the statement that the author expresses a personal opinion is quite enough to kill at the root all doubts about the objectivity of what was said.
What does subjective opinion mean? This is only the sensual attitude of the individual to what is happening, and therefore it is often characterized by a lack of evidence base. In addition, it is impossible to verify, reasonably confirm. Source IMHO - stereotypes, beliefs, uncritical attitude. The formation of a personal opinion is inextricably linked with the psychological attitudes and worldview of the individual.
What makes you express an opinion?
The very first action that helps in assessing the real content and objectivity of IMHO is to clarify the intentions that prompted a person to make a statement. Why did he write/say this? What inner state prompted him to do this?
What does subjective opinion mean? This is just a point of view. One of millions possible. Often she appearscompletely empty, of no use. At the same time, the author of the statement is firmly convinced that this is the very truth born in the process of intense intellectual work.
Time IMHO
Modernity in system-vector psychology is defined as the period of the “skin phase of the development of society”. One of its main features is the strengthening of individualism. Culture is at such a level of development that each individual is proclaimed the highest value, a unique creation. It is argued that a person has the exclusive right to everything - naturally, that is not forbidden by law. The first position in the system of "skin" society is occupied by independence, freedom.
Technological breakthrough gave humanity the Internet, which has become a huge arena, which hosts a magnificent parade IMHO. The global network has made it possible to speak out on any occasion. Many note that the Internet has become an immense garbage pit filled with stinking masses of unreliable dirty information.
Vs each other
Ask yourself the question of whether you want to be a consumer of other people's subjective opinions, are you ready to become a kind of dustbin in which everything that someone really wanted to say is placed. Of course, it is much more difficult to form one's own, maximally objective view of the world.
Review your statements. Perhaps they will give you reason to think about what kind of judgments you present to others.themselves. Are you falling into the void of your own thoughts? Are all your frustrations exposed too often? Try to answer these questions honestly. Understanding and analyzing your own mistakes will help you choose the right path.
