Regarding those who suffer from Irrational Stubbornness:

"Once they make a decision, it gets tied up with ego and they can become irrationally committed to it. They anticipate feeling worse if they switch and lose than if they stick and lose.

Their brains are wired in such a way that encourages them to stay with their choices, no matter how poorly informed or insignificant they are. They'd rather feel right than reconsider."

Additionally....I have coined a new condition. Rather than suffering from A.D.D......some suffer from A.N.D., Attention Needing Syndrome.

The differences between those suffering from ADD (lie on the floor in the dark,and remember way back in your life when you were badly screwed over or upset by a loved one...*snip* ...crying in a very mournful way) and those suffering from A.N.D. (Attention Needing Deficit).

Those suffering from A.N.D. display their mournful suffering right out where everyone can see it. In fact, they GLORY in making pitiful, irrational asses of themselves in blatant and, frankly, embarrassing ways.
