I was raised in a cult like background of religious extremism I managed to escape and outgrow. I have had to deal with this subject on a more acute level than most. Dogma and tribalism are dangerous in that they are not based in cognitive logic. The tribe blocks out external sources of information in favor of the shared dogmas. This is how religion, racism, and bigotry gain their power. If you are self aware on this level, it is a powerful tool to better yourself. There is nothing wrong with needing to find your tribe. The feeling of wanting everyone to be oriented like yourself, is likely rooted in tribalism. Maybe you need to expand your friends group. Just be careful about letting such feelings take hold in deeper rooted dogmatic ideology. This is the same type of thing that plays out into harmful dogmas if left unchecked. Still, people can and do change. I was raised to treat you terribly, but I never really bought into that, I outgrew it, and now here I am trying to steer you away from a similar dichotomy. Anyways, if you recognize it as dogma and tribalism, you gain the opportunity to rise above it, manipulate it, and use it to your advantage instead of being subjected to it like most people that do not understand it.
