What was the last thing you changed your mind on? If you can't remember - why do you think its taken so long for someone to change your mind on something?

to go on vacation alone. i always feared i wouldn't like it, i tried it out this year, it was great 😀

Humans are rational. They can be, they have that aspect to them, but a lot of the time it doesn't come into play.

I heard somewhere, people usually decide things before thinking about them, and then rationalize them ex post.

People like to seem consistent, get entrenched in their opinions, and ignore the path the got them there. Maybe the work to remember is bothersome. Also it can be tied to emotional mess which they might not want to deal with.
