Loyalty vs. Truth: Why Do We Stick to Our Guns?

Well, we decided somehow that that's what we do right when we're voting or following a team. Not sure exactly why we do it all the time.
Why do we sometimes cling to loyalty even when we know we're wrong? Dr. Fred Riley dives into this fascinating aspect of human behavior in this episode of 'Counseling On Demand'. He questions whether loyalty is more important than being right and explores the reasons behind our steadfastness to people, teams, or ideas, even when they're flawed. Is it all about group thinking or mob mentality? Or is there something deeper at play? Dr.
Riley doesn't just stop at the questions; he offers a nonjudgmental look at how social rules and group dynamics shape our decisions. He even brings in relatable examples, like that odd feeling we all get at the dentist, to make his points hit home. If you're curious about why we sometimes act against our better judgment, this episode will give you plenty to think about. It's educational, engaging, and delivered with Dr. Riley's trademark empathy and occasional humor.
Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of loyalty and correctness.
