What is your opinion on being opinionated? I'm super opinionated and like to voice my opinion, but more importantly I like to hear other's opinions too. I'm not closed minded at all yet I always get nagged at for stating my opinion.... Do you think being opinionated is a good or bad thing?

Being opinionated isn't a bad thing, it's how you express it. When it comes to that, I have one rule: I'll give my opinion when it's asked for unless the situation is REALLY dire for it. I take that as the same for advice.
Sometimes when you voice your opinion, it annoys others because there are times when voicing it isn't appropriate, or even wanted. That may be the trouble you're facing. Sometimes others don't wish to share what they think, or even what you think, and there's nothing wrong with that.
I would try to tone it down a notch and instead of just voicing your opinion, bounce an idea off of another person when they give their own. Such as when someone says something, say "well, I can see how you think that way, but in my opinion..."

bad thing. it's fine to have an opinion but that doesn't mean one has to voice it at every opportunity. everyone has an opinion and unless it's asked for, it should be kept to oneself.

Simple. If you are female, keep your yap shut. There are plenty of men around to make the correct decision for you & tell you what to believe as well. Nobody wants to hear a broad flapping her tongue anyhow. That's why they invented this forum ; so you can vent your exasperation here & no one has to hear ya !

I like you, and I want to hear your opinions, but ultimately
I hope they agree with mine, so I can feel a little secure.

it's a bad thing. it makes you obnoxious. give your opinion only when they ask for it.
