All my life I've tried to figure this out- Why are people so quick to criticize things they haven't tried themselves or know nothing at all about? Any feedback would be appreciated....

Because they are scared

It depends on their values, morals, experiences ( or lack thereof ).

It also depends on childhood environment.

Yep and sometimes they criticize others as well... See the irony?

We as human beings are afraid of things we don't know or understand (not sure why, it's a quote from something). I think the whole criticizing thing comes as a defense mechanism.

I agree with those assessments but what I don't get is why are people so afraid of anything different than what they see everyday....Is there no desire to experience life, new people and new experiences? That's just so sad.....

Because they fear that they might like it and change their views...........

I so agree with you. The people that think it's my way or I don't want to talk about it, do it, or experience it are the ones I pity.

Yeah, tell me about it. I've been trying to get my daughter to eat brussel sprouts forever and she refuses to try them. Don't understand why????

Anybody ever see that "Bizarre Foods" show? I watch that show and realize that I would try about 98% of the stuff he eats.
