What do you do when you have a very strong opinion about something, but other people try to make you think that it's wrong? How do you cope? And not just any person, people who matter to you - who you care about and vice versa. I'm all for hearing people out and trying to see things from a different point of view, but it bothers me to no end that MY opinion is seen as flat out wrong, and I am looking like a close minded individual. I think what bothers me the most about this issue is the fact that in my heart of hearts, I know I am wrong; but in my mind, I am completly justified and right! It's a constant battle that I have to deal with internally which is probably why I project my feelings onto those people who try to make me see it their way (the way my heart sees it) but I want to go MY way (the way my mind sees it). I don't want to give in and it's frustrating.
This wouldn't be such an issue if this topic didn't come up as often as it did, but it does so I am forced to either keep my mouth shut and stew in my own fury, or speak on it and get chastized. I feel like changing my opinion is merely giving in - just rolling over and saying "you win" and I can't give up that easliy! What I feel is strong, and it just won't go away because people think I am wrong. I really don't know what to do.

heart and mind is a constant battle. you should use your intellect more than your feelings more often though. don't argue for the sake of being difficult or "strong-minded" if it's something you genuinely know isn't best for you. what point are you trying to prove and why do you need to prove it to that person?
anyway, luv u. bye
oh and change this blog background, it looks like shawns.
And see, I want to use my intellect in this matter, and that's why people are saying I'm wrong - I should open my heart or something. And it has nothing to do with me - the issue itself - it's just a general opinion that I have and it doesn't really affect me one way or the other, which is why I want to feel the way I do without being told I am wrong for it.
so if its no right or wrong the other person is an idiot. thats all.
:)
problem solved.
Thanks! I agree!
