I'm a high schooler and I have an opinion on something controversial and none of my friends agree with me, at least none that I know of.(I won't say what it is)I never say what I think so my friends won't get mad at me. I don't have that many friends as it is because I'm so shy. I don't think that you should have to change for other people, so how can I keep my opinion without having to necessarily hide it?
As you may have noticed, I'm not very popular on here because I say what I think and a lot of people do not appreciate the honesty, whether they agree or not with the subject.
But if someone cannot accept that you have a different opinion and still like you, then really, they aren't your friend at all. Stop worrying about what others think, for a real friend will stand behind your right to your opinion, no matter what.
Fuck the others; they aren't worth your time.
Sometimes people gain more than they lose from their mistakes. Other times they don't. I don't want to comment directly on OP's case because he's not provided any details, but sometimes "the crowd" is totally totally right. When a group of people stage an intervention, it's usually a more constructive world than when they don't.
BEST ADVICE: I went through this as I came to age. My opinions grew vast and very different from the social normalcy.
Your best option is compromise. Does not mean you lose, simply do not converse about those topics to those you know will never accept them and you will both be happier. Otherwise if you keep going on about something to non-susceptible person you will have a bad time. Learn to relax (this key to everything), go with the flow and good times will come. Have a good one you peoples you!
