    User:

    reads a book, encounters a perspective they hadn’t previously considered

    feels insulted

    accuses the narrator of talking down to them.

    The narrator is just a voice inside your head. Why are you looking down on yourself for learning something new?

        I’ve actually never read it, not even sure what it’s about, but from the other user’s comment it sounds like it’s not so bad.

        And I’ve certainly encountered some people who will accuse someone of being arrogant just for saying something that they didn’t know. It’s kind of annoying.

        Like I love it when someone says something I don’t already know. It means I get to learn something new. Why does that bother some people?

        It’s usually the type of people who can’t admit that they don’t know everything.
