That happened on here a while back when i saw friends bullying someone. They then made a post the next day about kindness and i could not hold my tongue any longer. I called them out because i just could not bear the hypocrisy of it all, knowing full well that i would lose their friendship. There were a number of people who were mutual friends that stopped talking to me after, some blocked me and i know it was because she would have twisted what happened and people take sides.
Looking back, it was absolutely the right thing to do. The behaviour was nasty but then to talk about how people need to be kind to each other on the very next post just awful

I only discuss certain topics with trusted friends in pms or with my own family.

If I can’t speak my truth, then the friendship may have been very surface. I’m learning that the hard way. My actions either speak to who I am, or they don’t. Either way, I have to know people have my back. I’m fighting my own battles in life and don’t really have time to get caught up in fabricated drama.

I've lost a number of friends recently. Not happy about that, but more than comfortable with it.

That's when I know that friend is not supposed to be in my life. I only keep company with people who accept me and my views respectfully. And since I think my views are pretty fair and ethical, I wouldn't want to keep a friendship with someone who didn't agree.

Maybe when i was younger and had many...casual friends?
Nowadays, the very select few friends i have, expect me to speak my mind. And agree or disagree, the love is still there.
But...they are pretty like minded on the important issues.

A lot of times it depends on how you say it and not what you say.

It's the ones you keep that count ❤️

friends come and go. what happens when you walk away from family because your values do not correspond with theirs anymore .however i understand what you are saying. its sad and sometimes happens.

Just be yourself, people that like you will respect you even if you have a different opinion, don't walk on eggshells on account of anyone 🤗

That's how I feel every time someone speaks out against the LGBTQ community and I have to defend them.

Or racial equality.

Yup.. but the ones that stay are your true friends even if they disagree. All the rest would have left you eventually.

I will but only if doing so can make a difference..i don't have many jerks as friends

When you don't have any friends, it really doesn't matter.

Oh my god.....You voted for Trump?

I wont reply to certain questions for that reason

Some people just dont change. They go back to their own shitty ways.

Yes but I don't care anymore

Been there. It's not comfortable.

That's why I often clam up on certain subjects.
