I have been in a situation whereby I was cautious about sharing my opinion.
Along the way my feelings were being crushed and my value was being reduced.
I started to feel very displaced.
I questioned everything and needed to take more time to assess whether my thoughts and feelings were irrational.
Eventually I became a pressure pot of nausea, hurt feelings and confusion.
Funnily enough when it all came out I was shown that I should be afraid to express my opinion. But instead of caving I stepped away.

No. I tend to keep some opinions to myself on some topics, but it’s not fear. I just don’t want to get involved in discussions that are miserable. I’d rather have fun and talk about things that are enjoyable. It’s a quality of life equation, and life is just better when you avoid some subjects.

Not scared, but defo reluctant at times.. Besides I'm not a TMI person. Better to keep some things to self.

No, I'm not someone scared of sharing my opinion, but I will think to myself is this opinion wanted or helping? Context matters.

Yes I don't want to get blocked. It makes me sad and I cry myself to sleep about it.

I’m more afraid of hurting someone unintentionally than of speaking my mind.

Mostly not afraid to speak out on most things. Sort of overly opinionated really. 😆

I have been trying to be less aggressive the last couple of years. Yet I do have a lot of people that block me still.

Block me and it really doesn't matter to me.

Sometimes I am. Many times I keep my opinion to myself to avoid causing drama. I am fairly conflict avoidant as a person.

Not here on this forum. I can be brutally honest, and if there is blow-back, I have the option of blocking abusive responders.

No, not generally. I am capable of "reading the room", but that was a learning curve. 😏

Nope

Not scared but sometimes it’s pointless

Not at all

No I speak up and live in my truth.

Maybe sometimes I should be. Sometimes it's better to keep those to yourself.

I’m too afraid to tell you. Does that answer your question? 🙄

No but maybe I should, because lots of people like being mean/rude because they don’t like hearing my usually well informed opinions.

Depends on the topic. I don't ever talk politics and rarely talk about religion.

Nope. Not scared. I just don't care to in real life because you can't exit a conversation by closing your phone. If somebody wants to get obnoxious in real life, I'm more likely to lose my temper with them.

Sometimes

Who me?

Not really

Nope.

Sometimes some people can be rude

Certainly not - forthright to the point of insulting lol

Lol….. don’t think I’d ever be accused of that.

Not at all!

Not usually

Online no, in real life, all the time.

Not one bit

Not always but it’s not always beneficial to do so .. opinions aren't always helpful 😒

No, password

Not enough people are scared of sharing their opinions. It’s usually the most useless ones that have to be the loudest.

In real life, no. On this site, yes. I could say I'm blonde and someone will call me a nazi

No, if you are offended it is time to look in the mirror and you will see the problem

No. But, was my younger more inexperienced self scared of sharing my opinion? Also, no.

Dagnabit, you little whippersnapper, I'll show you some opinion! Now get me a bran muffin and some Metamucil and get off my lawn before I turn on the hose!

Nah, I just choose the topic wisely. Religion and politics? Hell no.

No

😁

🤭

No.

No.

Hell nahh

Never
