According to this story over at Psycom.net, the effects that 'cognitive dissonance' might have on a person will vary, though as it's happening in the moment, it can cause 'discomfort, stress, and anxiety' in the individual feeling it, with the actual 'degree' of that stress and discomfort depending on how much disparity there is between the conflicting beliefs, how much the beliefs mean to that person, as well as with how well the person copes with self-contradiction.
With some of the signs someone might be experiencing cognitive dissonance including 'general discomfort that has no obvious or clear source', confusion, feeling conflicted over a disputed subject matter, people calling you a hypocrite or even being aware of conflicting views and/or desires but not knowing how to deal with those conflicting emotions/feelings, most of us experience 'cognitive dissonance' at one time or another, although not all of us to the same degree.
With another cause of 'cognitive dissonance' in America being 'President Brandon' claiming back in July that 'you're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations' coming soon before the bottom dropped off and many of the fully vaxxed got COVID, with some dying and many passing it on to others, other Americans are wondering what to think now when 'Brandon' tells them the stores will be fully stocked and the shelves full as we approach Christmas, only to then go to their local supermarkets and see empty shelves galore.
So with one of the best ways to deal with 'cognitive dissonance' being to keep a totally open mind, ready for your beliefs to be challenged and remaining mentally, physically and emotionally 'flexible' to deal with any such challenge that comes one's way, doing so is by no means saying one should change one's own beliefs every time they are challenged but taking in and adapting to new information. Such as the people who once though 'the vax is the answer' seeing now that they're getting bombarded with numerous sources of information that are totally contradictory to each other.
