Oppositism

Definition:
A behavioral pattern in which an individual moves, thinks, or acts in contradiction to their claimed values, desires, or identity — knowingly or unknowingly — often resulting in self-sabotage, confusion in others, or emotional dissonance.

Origin:
Coined in the 21st century to describe the cultural, psychological, and relational phenomenon of presenting one way while living another. Often rooted in fear, trauma, performance culture, or unprocessed shame.
She kept posting about love, light, and growth — but ghosted everyone who challenged her. Classic oppositism.

Opposition Paradox

"(The) Opposition Paradox" is a term credited to the philosopher C.M. Nutter for describing when people are unwilling to try new things that others recommend without a logical reason other than to simply provide opposition to the idea of trying something new.
Donna recommended her and Steve go to Chinese food for dinner. Steve opposed the idea even though he never tried Chinese food. Donna pushed and eventually Steve conceded and they had Chinese food for dinner. After trying the food Steve fell in love with Chinese food wonder why he opposed it and was never willing to try before. Therefore being a victim of the Opposition Paradox.
