So yeah "How emotionally strongly you stand behind your opinions?"
Please vote in a poll and feel free to discuss this here, as I think this is what is one of the biggest things related to the Sz. I think I’m usually averagely strong emotionally myself. I should take a bigger role and always stand behind my stuff and would admit only when I really think it’s true.
I have some strong opinions about some things which I don’t like voicing very much. Those opinions are pretty fragile to me and they will get shattered if I voice them out as strongly as I feel bout them. Depending on whose listening too. That’s a big factor.
Other things I have very little opinion on. Like general knowledge and politics
I’m always willing to admit when I’m wrong. Plus, I like that we can all have our own thoughts and opinions, so even if I still hold my opinion when opposed, I still respect the other persons right to their own opinion

feltmy x should have accepted me as vegan since I accepted things about him like his hunting and smoking…
[/quote]i completely agree. If you accepted his differences, he should accept yours too. My husband and I like different things but we both support each other’s differences.
I think the thing I’d like to change in me is not being waiting for the conflict and if a conflict comes, i’d deal it in a fiendly/smart manner to as far as possible.
@Resilient1, I think someone was being overly sensitive flagging that post. It wasn’t actually a religious post that would be triggering. I think it shouldn’t have been flagged.
I feel strongly about what i say here bc it is a support forum and i try to support as much as i can,
I also keep an open mind and i know when to accept that i am wrong so i am open to change my opinion if i find that what i have said is misinformed, basically if you can prove i am wrong then i will accept it.
there re some hard topics on here though, it can be hard to reply and then i hope i say the right thing, i have a lot of insight so try to use it to the best i can.
I believe myself to be open minded and possibly wrong. I admit that i am not informed enough about my beliefs. Alot of people never tried to convince me of their opposing viewpoints. I think that making ad hominem attacks on others while arguing is very cheap and low brow behaviour: a sign of lack of ability to win by argument alone.
