So I have this burning question

[erode_the_world]

Life often throws those curveballs our way. When we know that most people have certain views and that taking an opposite view would have consequences. So tell me, do you risk those consequences and stand up for what you believe in? Or do you say nothing, be quite and bottle those feelings away. Or do you outwardly agree but inwardly scream no

I think it depends on the subject. It can be hard to state your opinion firmly and then keep a positive public image sometimes, right? So I think, unless it's something I'm very, very firm about, or a subject that wouldn't have too much backlash if I had an unpopular opinion, I would just keep quiet. I might say I disagreed if I was asked, but otherwise, I would try to keep quiet.

...Try, anyway. (laugh)

I can't stand being quiet about what is important to me. I have to speak my opinion.

I..am a loudmouth, *^^* and sometimes I can't control myself and blurt things out, standing firm to what I believe without thinking that it might appear obnoxious. But sometimes I tend to keep it to myself, where the person that can only judge is myself, so I'd have to say it depends on the situation you're in and the person you're with...Ahh..I don't want to have to look back and regret the things I said either, ^o^v

I think true maturity is learning how to pick your battles and pick them wisely. There are certain things that are worth voicing, but others that just complicate things more if you get involved. Some of it is worth the fight, some of it isn't. Sometimes staying silent prevents more bad things from happening.

Ah. I believe that everyone has their own opinion about various things and arguing about it wouldn't really solve a problem. I usually try to work things out with the best approach that would lead to as little problems as there can be. If it's nothing to harm me, I don't regret holding back my feelings and not saying anything. So I would go for the latter, outwardly agreeing option.
