Why do people become defensive when another is defensive?!
Question: Well in my experience when i fought with people and they became defensive was because they felt hurt and then they try to hurt the other person and they get defensive and it will go back and forth until they blow up at each other, leave, and/ or calm down and talk this out civilly. Hope this helps. Have an awesome day!

i think it is a knee jerk reaction. Its hard to be open when someone else is throwing up major walls. The whole give and take cant occur.
protection over ones well being.
I was wondering about that myself...
I agree with Kat12. People let their ego get the best of them sometimes and want to be heard or have the last say or "win" the argument. Two wrongs don't make a right.
As long as one person is being defensive, it makes it difficult for effective communication to occur.
The second person probably gets frustrated and then responds on the same level as the first person.
