Unpopular opinions are everywhere. And while these statements have a way of stirring up protracted debates, the vast majority of them are founded on certain underlying truths. In fact, unpopular opinions aren’t always so uncommon. These views will often resonate with someone in your immediate social circle.
The primary reason we fear voicing unpopular opinions is that many of them may rub some people up the wrong way. Besides, unpopular views tend to touch on subjects that are largely taboo, such as sexuality, politics, and religion. However, there’s nothing wrong with speaking your mind, uncomfortable as your sentiments may be.
