Why do people with strong opinions rant?

Question

Why do people with strong opinions rant?

Answer 1

I "think" its because they feel helpless that.

a. no one is listening to something "very" important. (to them anyway)

b. they have no control in their lives and this is a way to try to force it.

c. they are frustrated about the subject OR something else chemical in their brains going on.

d. they were never taught manners, or respect, or that the more you rant the sillier and more out of control you look.

e. they don't understand that USUALLY the loudest and most forceful is the least correct.

f. they can't get control of themselves.

g. they are drowning and this is them trying not to, basically begging for help.

h. it's either that or look vulnerable or wrong. (which they do anyway)

i. they might be tired or hungry or sick or itchy or something.

j. they feel they MUST be heard.

k. there is something mentally wrong with them.

l. they don't realize that the softer you speak the more you get attention IF you have the podium anyway.

m. it takes time away from what they SHOULD be doing and wasting time is what it's all about.

It could be a number of things, those were off the top of my head. And YES I have been the target of MANY a rant. And there is at least a dozen more things, but like m... There are other things I should be doing.. So adieu! ;)

For the same reasons that people with weak opinions whine.

Peace/Joy

Answer 5

Seems that thinks they can expound enough to get others to understand why they feel so strongly and that others will "get it" and join them.   Also they feel like their opinions are valid and must be heard.

Answer 6

BECAUSE WE CAN!!! MWUAHAHAHA

Answer 7

Frustration that other people don't "get it" like they do (not disqualifying myself sometimes).

Answer 8

Because they feel if they say it louder and repeat themselves then those surrounding them can't help but agree. lol

Answer 9

probably because they want to share their opinions with others and tend to get a bit upset when people either don't understand or don't agree

Answer 10

Because they think that if they have enough detail and reasons to prove their idea that people will start to believe them.  Sadly, some come over as people trying to shove their ideas down our throats.

Answer 11

because they love attention and once they have it they dont want to let go of it and go on and on and on and on!

Answer 12

This is because those 'types' believe that their opinion is more than an opinion. Their opinion becomes truth.  

The reason for ranting: they know that their opinion cannot be proven as truth and thus rant in an attempt to convince. Rhetoric aids persuasion of others to be of the same opinion as the speaker of rhetoric. Politics.
