Is it normal to see "different" as a threat?
I have noticed all of my life people don't like others because of what they like, what they wear,what they look like, and even sexual orientation.
I have come to the obvious conclusion that most humans see being different as a threat. But a threat to what, exactly? Why are humans so afraid of something like a brand name to turn it into rage and hatred?
Don't get me wrong, I judge people sometimes (or even all the time subconsciously) on these types of things. I don't trust people. Never have, I was a bit timid and still am.
But is it normal to see difference as a threat? And if so, a threat to what?
