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)

Different reasons for different people. What compelled you to share your opinion here?

That aside, political yard signs serve a clear purpose: name recognition. Same thing product/service ads serve.

@Northwest
I'm learning it isn't a good thing to give my opinion much anymore... online or daily life.
If it's not going to make a positive difference and matter, I'm not bothering anymore.
And seriously, with or towards people in communities and such, people we don't even know... it just doesn't make sense to me to bother.

@SW-User Many people feel the same. In my opinion though, if people have something constructive, or useful to share, they should. Despite the fact that some people will not like it, as it may not fit their narrative.

Some people are all about the noise, that’s what the block button is for.
