What is actually "having my own views"?

I usually don't get what people mean by saying it, because what they call their own views are just some opinions they buy into. For instance, people who believe in the illuminati think they're thinking for themselves and rejecting the media "trash" but they are just buying into the ideas of some conspiracies.

ones views are always ones own no matter how they come to them.. they are always evolving and changing. No one has static views although the more you try to change someones views the more they will hold on to them. I actually cant stand it when someone tries to assume why another person believes something or how they came to believe it. Most people have some kind of confirmation bias even if they don't realise it and there are very few real truths in the world. Unless we grew up in a bubble and only know what we imagine then all of our information comes from processing external sources.
