Everyone has them cause they’re cheap to have.
This is just my opinion
A lot of people will hate you for having opinions that are different from theirs, hate from friends, family and even on social media. Most people only listen to respond and force their opinions on you, they don’t actually listen to you.
It’s very difficult for you to have conversations about your views with these people and you don’t want to risk losing them so you stay quiet.
Sometimes not saying your opinions about everything gives you peace of mind.
I think it’s better to be quiet but you also don’t want to look like the nice guy, always in the middle, too scared to pick a side, agrees with everything and everyone even when it doesn’t make sense, always saying your opinion doesn’t matter cause you’re not rich or popular.
My advice is never talk about a topic if you don’t know anything about it and haven’t done any research, always do your own research. I feel like this should be taught to every child in school.
It’s okay to not have an opinion especially if it doesn’t affect you in any way.
As to what they say, people nowadays no longer listen. What we all do is talk more and listen less. Look what's happening now.
