Be entitled to your opinion. Whether you be true or false, that doesn't matter. That is YOUR opinion, which makes the more entitled. Don't let others drag you down, tell you that your opinion is stupid or is wrong or whatever. Because they are wrong. They are stupid. Only because they didn't give your opinion a chance. Consider others opinions and try (see I said TRY there...) To understand them, though maybe to you they are stupid or don't make sense. But THEY are also entitled to their opinion and what I am saying goes for them too. And don't tell them that their opinion issue stupid don't make sense and vice versa.
