No, i prefer being with people who have their own opinions. If we all agreed then life would be bland. Its good to disagree, its mentally stimulating as long as you can respect others opinions even if you dint share their views.
if you are surrounded by people who agree with you, you will never view things from a different perspective or challenge your own opinions. you wouldn't learn or grow.
Having said that you also need to associate with people who share a similar outlook and values too as it give us a sense of belonging and connectedness. So i think its more a question of balance...you need a bit of both.

Not all of the time.People who rarely disagree with you could be doing so to please you or to avoid conflicts.You will enjoy with the harmony but you might be deprived of some improvements of your flaws.Those who always agree with you tend to suppress their honest thoughts you know. There are many things in you that needs to be improved or corrected and you will know them best through someone who disagrees with you. You see,you might not be pleased but you will have a wider room for improvement.
Hence I would say, I prefer to stay often with those who disagree with me but I need those who rarely disagree with me if my mind is in trouble. Is it difficult to have such conditions?

Well, it reduces conflict. Also we have the same views, so that's good. On the other hand, haveing different views can help u to get more ideas!

opinionated people sometimes rub others the wrong way ....
but being a yes man / woman is the worst thing you can do to me ....
i need a little argument from time to time... it allows each of us to redifine our opinions and evaluate if that opinion still holds fast

yeah-so it won't start a riot, although I am open to hear those that don't-but, I'd like to know what their argument is-and it better be a good one!! I mean, as long as you have the facts to back it up-and aren't just pulling it from your as s-then all ears and respect to ya'!!

Well sure. That's not to say that I don't enjoy a friendly debate, but it's a lot nicer to be at peace in most settings.

No, because it gives nothing but boredom. I prefer to be with people whom I can argue with, but will still be my friends.
