Answer 2

If you are 15 and you declare yourself an atheist it is not surprising for me people don´t take you for serious. You are simply too young to have such position on weather or not there is a God existing. Maybe you´re right about it, but you see, I´m 44 and still prefer leave this question open instead of pretending to know something I don´t. Some people can believe in God, some not. But, when you say: "I am an atheist" you say: "There is NO god", you deny it. And THAT is a serious something. Let me ask you: How can you be so sure?
If you always sound so very "sure", I believe this is where you have a problem. And it is not only because of your young age, but also because noone likes much "I know it all better" types.
I would say, learn to listen as well as learn to make other listen to you by choosing better the words, expressions and the body talk while you lead a conversation to someone else.

Answer 3

Women around the world deal with disrespect. You don't gain respect instantly because you have an opinion. Question 4 makes no difference because you are none of those things. It would seem as though you care too much about the opinions of others. Many people can sense that and are turned off. Stop being so angry and tune in more to what you believe and why. This will improve your confidence and thus improve the opinion others have of you.

Answer 4

It sounds as if you have a chip on your shoulder young lady.

2. I just did.
3. I don't know who you are, but try expressing an opinion about something , and we'll see how it goes.
4.
a, No
b, No
c, No
d, No
e, No
f, Definitely not.
g, No
h, No
i, No
j, No

Some people are superficial, and may be uninterested in what you have to say because of your disadvantages (my tongue is safely ensconsed in my cheek).

Your age, race, gender, religious views, and sexual orientation would not have the slightest bearing on how I would listen to you, and the manner in which I would reply to whatever you had to say. And I'm not the only one.

Chill out, and have a good atheist Christmas ;-)

Answer 5

1) depends on what you have to say, and what else I need to attend to at the time that you ask a question. No one, no matter how wonderful they are, gets my attention anytime they please.

2) see above

3) Whether or not I ask someone's opinion depends on how knowledgeable & reliable that I suspect that they are on the subject of interest. There is not point asking the opinion of an person that is utterly ignorant on a particular subject, unless I am need of a good laugh.

4) the value of a person's opinion or thoughts is in direct proportion to their knowledge of a particular thing, not necessarily any of the other conditions that you list.

Don't expect people to care about you merely because you want them to. Life is give & take. If you want to take from me (i.e. my time), you must give me something that I want in return.

Get knowledgeable about things that matter, and you will find that people will care about what you have to say.

Answer 6

I would pick a random 100 knots, to see what mysteries I could unravel. Then I would get 3 friends to unravel 100 knots each, they would then get three friends each and so on. In the end we can pool our ideas onto a massive data base. Then using that knowledge, construct a machine that can produce a telepathic link between every person on the planet. The information then can be shared around everyone, it is the only way we could get anywhere near comprehending the secrets of the universe.

Answer 7

I will listen to anyone regardless of age colour upbringing religion etc, sometimes a 15 yr old has a better answer than a 50 yr old , you seem very mature to ask a question like this so of course i would listen, im only 21 yrs old and ppl think im too young to comment sometimes!

Answer 8

I think it depends who it is you are trying to have a conversation with, if its somebody closed minded then no they will not listen or care. It also has to do with the topic of conversation you are trying to have. You have to remember people of all races,beliefs and sexual preferences get discriminated and shut out. I am not bashing on your question or anything its just that its a little vague you need to say on what topics or subjects is that you want to talk about with people. For example if you where try to talk to me about animals rights i would listen to you but i would also tell you my opinion.

Answer 9

When you really have something to say, people usually listen. Not always though. Sometimes you have to DEMAND that others listen. Like when I had an eating disorder, I felt no one heard me, that I was crying out for help. So I would keep telling people until I ran into someone who would listen. And if they tried to ignore me, I would get in their face and yell. It sounds selfish, but I knew I needed to be heard in order to get the help I needed. And I knew that I mattered enough to MAKE people listen to me. So if you have something you really need to say, you should do what I did. Make yourself heard.

People listen to people who carry themselves with respect and confidence.

People listen when something holds their attention.

People listen to a person who treats others with respect.

I don't really think it matters what your demographics are.

Answer 10

1. I would like to hear about things that are important to you, unless I didn't believe it.
2. Yes, I would listen
3. When people ask for opinions they're asking you to tell them what they want to hear.
a) older: yes (older people have more experience)
b) famous: yes (they might give me a car if I listen)
c, d, e, g, h, i) It depends on if I can relate to the subject as to whether I would want to listen.
f) yes ( I'm much more attentive to women)

Answer 11

Yes i would care and yes i would listen and seriously it wouldnt matter what race or color... At 15 you need to be heard cause it impacts ur life later on what happens now. I hope everyone knows that.
