Getting out my feelings pt2

[moldycookies]

Politics.

I have opinions - sometimes my opinions are not popular, and it scares the poop out of me when it's not because I'm afraid people are gonna assassinate me because I think certain things should have been handled differently - or that I completely disagree with them altogether (although, I highly doubt that).

Personally, I don't like to talk

People that say "your opinions are stupid" are usually people with opinions that aren't valid at all (aka backed by completely erroneous facts). In those cases, whip out some facts and quietly shove them down those jackasses throat and then walk away.

People are entitled to their own opinions, and yeah there are always going to be haters.

Frankly, I get tired of people shooting down my opinions as well, so the least we can do is not be like the haters that don't like our opinions.

Oh my gosh! You don't how ironic it is that you're posting this. Just last Saturday my coworkers got into an "issues" debate. I was determined to keep my mouth closed because I knew that I have completely opposite views and I didn't want to get into that.
Well...I was dragged in against my will and it suddenly became an "attack Cynthia" free-for-all. Me against everyone else. It was bad.
I totally understand where you're coming from.

I totally get the feeling of just wanting to keep your mouth shut to avoid drama. I'll voice my opinions to my loved ones when it counts (i.e. when they're being a jerk to someone else) but I also feel there are times where I feel its better to just to go "hmm" until the person moves on to a safer topic.
