What makes us feel we need to share our opinions with communities and the world?

People put signs in their yards stating who they will vote for, people go online to debate/argue about the same.
Politics, religion and just about anything under the sun... people will argue about it all and even resort to be rude, insulting, etc.... and yet, it never makes a real difference in anyone's life.

Why do we feel anyone really cares about our opinions? (unless they are like minded)

Opinions... why I have a need to voice mine... 🤷‍♀️ don't know...probably to find like minded folks... or its telling something about what matters to me and my life.

@ShadowWorker I've been learning that many times, opinions shouldn't be shared when it's just going to cause hurt, fights, and upsets. Too often it changes nothing.
I think your opinions are good ones and we seem to agree on a lot of things, but there's many in daily life and internet who argue and disagree... and it doesn't seem to fill a real purpose.

@SW-User huh.. I guess a person has to pick their ...battles.
Yup... everyone should respect other's opinions.
What goes around..comes around. If you want respect for your own thoughts and beliefs..you must in return do so for others. If you can't..that person needs to look deep inside..cause they are hypocrites.
