Is it bad to be a "fence sitter"?

I think it’s both… spoken from a fence sitter perspective. ☺️

I generally can see both sides of an argument, even if I don’t agree with one or the other. I remember getting yelled at by my high school history teacher to ‘just pick a side and quit sitting on the fence.’ 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s good in the way that you can see the actual issue more objectively. At the same time, you’re absolutely right about it making some people mad.

I always do that cuz idgaf abt world issues and it annoys some ppl lpl

It would all depend on the issue. I mean, I'd probably not be thrilled with someone who sat on the fence re the morality of killing innocent children.

Sometimes staying neutral or not choosing either of the two choices is picking a side. It's called a third option. The best choice could be a mix of the two choices. Other times neither one is right and shouldn't be chosen. We don't have to choose the better of two evils. We can insist on better choices, choices that are actually good.

I'd rather sit on a chair than a fence..seems uncomfortable

I've never heard anyone before you just now describe that as fence sitting

Im not sure.. but I'm guessing its better to be undecided than on the wrong side but it could also be translated as indifferent or uncaring

This is among the worst qualities any person could EVER have. Fence-sitting is worse than apathy. People who are fence-sitters literally need psychological counseling because it often leads to poor decision-making, poor choices in life, and a mind that never fully develops.

I think it is…

Evidence is behind my decision process. The weirder needs stronger evidence.
My adage is: If it’s not science, it’s superstition.

{@capnnathanael] it maybe you have no particular feeling one way on or the other about something

Ask someone from Switzerland...they are professionals in this area

Depends on the issue. In some situations one can’t in good conscience be "neutral".

It sounds painful

The "devils advocate" crap..is the same.

I do not get on well with fence sitters.
