“why are you always saying ‘i don’t know’” uh maybe because i was brought up believing that expressing my opinion would result in punishment/people hating me but…idk
Why does that matter? Some people are always going to hate you- starting with things you can’t change like nationality or your political opinions. Live your life and say what you mean. I lost a close friend over politics and I honestly don’t care because I’m being true to myself and not living a lie. It’s their loss if they abandon you for an opinion.
I get that, although the point of why I made this post was because of my trauma from emotional abuse - I find it hard to express my opinion because I have been punished very badly for expressing it as a child, so obviously I’m a little wary about doing so again.
That said, I have healed a lot since making this post and I’m learning that it’s okay to say what I think - so I completely agree! It’s good to stand up for what you believe and I’m glad I’m learning to do that.
