Are you open minded?

i think being open leads to betterment of our inner-selves beside enhancing our knowledge-base.if we remain segregated and dont share our thoughts with others than we are most likely to catch various diseases emotional as well as physical, so it is better to mingle with friends and people and put our thoughts laid bare.

Being open minded is an asset. The reason why some people regret this is that they did not associate thinking and discrimination with it. My idea of open mindedness is to consider all that life gives me but accept things which which can make me a better person. Of course this means things that are a pain can also be accepted.

always. it really makes things tough sometimes. i think it is like that with me because my parents were both so close minded and ive found out many times we dont know the whole story from someone. it comes with the old saying of "assume" the first 3 letters tell you what comes from assuming something. ive often thought i missed my calling by not becoming a psychologist. lol.

I think I fairly am. I think I learned it from a young age and I remember thinking that everyone has their reasons for everything. I guess I separated myself from other people thinking, that I am myself as much as he or she is themselves. I am also very curious and I think I always was too.. maybe that did contribute to it. I think the disadvantage I had was that anything went for me so I had trouble forming opinions and decisions.

It pays to be open minded even on certain issues.I don't usually judge something without really looking through thoroughly or knowing the whole story. I have friends with culture different from mine. What makes us really gel is the fact that i try to learn their culture and respect the way they are and they do the same to me.What i mean is you don't have to limit yourself from what you are accustomed to, be open to any changes that come along.

I want to learn many more new things and I believe that there are lots of possibilities in this world and in our life. So being open helps us understand more things. Things do change and if we are not open enough then we'll be left behind. Being open minded enables us to discover new things and learn new things as well which leads to inventions and new creations.

I am open minded. I am curious about learning things, and such. I do think that it is important to at least try and be a little opened minded. I don't really think that it's necessarily a bad thing to be open minded about some things. I don't think that it can really hurt you to be opened about some things, at least. But this is just my personal opinion.

I consider myself to be open minded. My parents were not in fact i thought them hippoccrital in the way they acted toward me when i was growing up & really bad as they got older. I hate it when people get older & talk about someone doing something that they did themselves when they were younger. Why do older people do that,u think? What makes them think people have forgotten what they did.

I am very open minded. I think that it is because of a combination of different things. It seems like I have lived a million lives sometimes. My paths have often taken me from one extreme to another. It is easier to be open minded when you have walked a few different roads. I am also very curious and eager to learn. That's helped too. Hurt me? Not so far. So far I have been lucky enough to learn and grow. I hope it never comes to that.

Yes i am open minded. I don't know why i am open minded but as much as i remember i never get hurt from anyone which made me open minded. I am open minded as it's my habit. But sometime i heard bad word for my my open minded attitude.And it also hurt me sometime but it's ok as i feel it's not bad habit at all so will continue.

I am indifferent, which, I guess, is close enough to open minded for most people Seriously, no, I can't say I'm open minded, even if I'm willing to learn and accept a wide range of new experiences and lifestyles, but it happens too often that something strikes too close to home and I cannot accept it. I don't even think I know anybody who's truly open minded, in all aspects of life.

I think I am open minded. My parents are always talking bad about how other people act and such. But to me I just go with the flow. What they do and wear is up to them, as long as it doesn't hurt you. What is the point in talking about it.

I feel when a person is at ease to accept others behavior. Something which I am not doing but the other person is finding it interesting, then I do not have any right to even discuss about his or her privacy. Basically gossip. Everybody has his/her own mindset and going to experience the pro/cons subsequently. So why to bother?

It doesent hurt to be open minded ....it's a way of life ...How You react to different things

That's a good question. It's hard for me to say yes or no to that. I tend to be open minded about some things but very closed minded about others. I'm not a big fan of change and if I don't completely agree with a thought or concept from the beginning I tend to be steadfast against it. Not really much of a grey area. I'm either all for it or completely against it. At the same time, if it's something that sounds good fair and decent to me I'll usually at least give something a try and be as open minded as possible. Good question.
