    There are a lot of people who take it personally when confronted with the idea that someone else is making an ethical choice that they, themselves, are not. When they hear someone say “I made this personal choice,” their ego warps it into “I made this personal choice and if you don’t, you’re a bad person.”

    It’s simply low empathy behavior. They struggle to contextualize other people’s thoughts and decisions outside of their own personal experience and beliefs.
