afraid that if you have your own opinion you would stick to it and avoid new ideas, and therefore lag behind smart people.

In your case, I don't think you need to be afraid to have an opinion. As long as you remain open to other people's ideas, it is perfectly fine to have an opinion. An opinion is esential to a debate or contraversy you may be in, so it will not lag you behind, it will be good. Just don't be stubborn and all will be well.

Not me. Everyone has an opinion, whether they express it or not. Mine is just as valid as the next guy. No need to compete. If mine is not as good or on the mark, I can easily let go of my opinion and adopt someone elses. Thats how I learn new things. Every day in classrooms around the world, students adopt their teachers' opinions. It's very healthy.

People develop their own opinions based on their own experiences...so I keep my mind open and agree with other opinions -first of all to keep the peace...and secondly to respect their right to their own opinions which have been brought about by their experiences. However, I don't always agree in my heart with other's opinions, because, like them, I have developed opinions of my own through my own life's experiences.

Absolutely not! You must realize that opinions are not cast in stone and can change. Hence, learning and searching for facts to both solidify your opinion, and challenge it so it can adjust and grow, and yes, change, should be a life long quest..... if for no other reason than to keep life from becoming boring....... but that's just my, um, opinion.

I always get scared that people will laugh at my ideas and opinions. That's why I'm a bit shy at times.

its funny to me when people don't have an opinion. Like on the View with that younger girl on it(hasselback who's married to that football player), all her opinions are based on things shes heard, she doesn't research and doesn't are to form her own opinion. That I find funny. none of them are her own.

Nope. I will believe in what I believe. Depending on what I opinionate about, wich is almost everything. You give me facts, just like I'll give you. If you make me believe that my opinion, is incorrect, then I will believe. Like I said though, it depends on what I have my opinion about.
