Are you an opinionated person or do you just go with whatever the flow might be?

I am definately opinionated and will always fight my corner. I once met a group of older couples and as I got to know them better their sly racist comments used to come out. The amount of arguments I got into with them because I stood up for what I believed would cause alot of tension but I could not just sit back and listen without saying something. I am like this at work and when i'm with my friends. However, I will not throw out insults, as that is just as bad. I try to put across a rational argument that will make someone think about what they are saying. Too many people sit on the fence and this really annoys me. They can see what is going on but just moan privately and never confront the issues. If more people had the balls to stand up for what they believed there would not be as many bullies who voice their opinions, knowing full well people will never answer back. It does offend alot of people when you are opinionated, but I don't really care that much, because they are the sort of people I do not want to associate myself with anyway. Long live the opinionated of this world!!!!!

I used to be. Took everything that was dished out to me and on me, but I got tired of that. Many tears and years later I am now an opinionated woman that will speak up for herself to the president if need be. It's really not being nasty (unless you really have to be) it is about being treated with respect. It doesn't take for you to use every 4 letter word in the book to get your point across either.

I'm highly opinionated. It sounds so harsh to be like that, but all it means is we like to think for ourselves. I'm definitely a free-thinker. I may put up with someone's poo one-time, if I cared about that person. Most the time, I have this natural reflex of flinging the poo right back at them, but in a subtle way. What a way to explain it. I'm straight-forward and freely share my opinions when they're invited, but usually don't shove my opinion down someones throat and make them accept it.

I don't think I am very opinionated person in real life may be here I do give my opinions because there is no fear of starting any argument, I don't like hurting people unnecessarily and many times just let them win the argument for sake of peace. You really have to provoke me and once provoked I will just not stop and my outburst are rare but really strong. I wont let any one walk all over me too but for every little thing I do not argue if I don't think its worth my time.

I'd say I'm pretty opinionated and would say whatever just to get my point across no matter how ludicrous it came across or how absolutley right I was, And if I was absolutely right I'd be in your face about it saying I told you so! But then I'm sort of a red head myself( a Ginger ninja! fighting crime on my days off!)

I wouldn't consider myself opinionated as my impression of opinionated people is that they give their opinion even when it's not wanted. I do, however, stand up for what I believe in and am not afraid to voice my opinion when asked. I will not sugar coat what I say either, unless I think that the situation or person involved needs "delicate" handling.

Nope, I learned the hard way that people walk all over you and tell it like it is.....I do give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but if I feel challenged then I speak up......

I never go with the flow I have my own opinions I like to express.

My Ex-husband once said that my mouth should be registered as a lethal weapon. So I assume from that, that he felt I was a pretty opinionated person, which goes along with my non forgiving attitude and carrying a grudge to the grave. Not a good quality but.... then? maybe not so bad either. At least people know how I feel or what I stand for.

I will tell you how I feel about something. I see no reason to tippy toe around things. Or to just not say a word about something that is bothering you. I wish people were more like you and I.

i am opinionated and as proof i have been in trouble for my remarks not because i have written it with malice because it spoke of truth.. and most of the time the truth hurts. when i feel strongly about something i'd fight for it and voice out my opinion!

I tell it like it is. My husband gets a little upset with me at times. But like I tell him they know how I am and if they don't like what I might say then they shuld not ask. Evan on forums I say what I think and if you are worried people won't agree with you about something then you should not be posting.

I olways speak for myself and give my opinion and have a strong beleive on myself this is the best way of life I think.

im quiet opinionated, but it depends on the situation and things. sometimes i go with the flow, usually when it involves my other half lol

I'm a very opinionated person as well. (And I was a redhead as a child, though it turned black eventually). Online I find it a little easier to express my opinions than offline. I'm really a bit of a sociophobe, so it's very awkward for me to stand up for myself. But I always do it. Even if I'm standing there shaking and wanting to cry, I stand up for myself. Because, if I don't, who's going to do it for me?

Hello. Nice to meet you. I seem to voice my feelings more than my opinion I think. I have alot of mixed emotions about things. One dau I will discuss somthing of a funny nature and it seems the next day I discuss depression and such. I guess my day to day life changes my moods and the topics I discuss. I hope this makes some sense. I also try to be productive with any posts or discussions that interest me on a a given day. I can also tell people what I think but never mean to hurt anyones feelings at all but alot of times I find that people get real offensive to me for some reason. I even have that problem in my real day to day life. I do speak up sometimes but then I get really nervous doing that because I seem to back down and get my feelings hurt also. I would never intentionally hurt someones feelings but it is hard to keep your mouth shut when someone starts to attack us verbally and such. I find it really hard to really express yourself online also as typing words can have their own voice rather than really hearing someone speak words. I try to do in detail as much as possible and try to explain why or what I say.

It depends on the situation. If I feel that the situation requires me to relax and go with the flow I will. If someone asks me a question that is harmless I'll answer truthfully..some questions, no matter how well intentioned can just be plain old bad news for me though..so I will lie if it's necessary as well. It just all depends on the details of the situation heh.

I think we should be straight forward .. And speak in front of a person .. if you feel being poo - pooed .. !!

I look at the situation as a whole. I'm optimistic generally, so I guess you would say I'm not opinionated.

I am not like you. Even everybody says that men should be more opinioned while women should be conservative... lol
