People mistake me for being rude just because i love to voice my oppinion

It all depends on how you voice ur opinion. If its done respectfully and u respect others opinion and not being rigid in ur opinions and ITK does not set in I don't see anything rude with that.

probably, its the way u voice ur opinion. like omini said, try to be do it in a respectful manner. the tone matters too. u shdnt shout pple down while airing ur mind. also u have to respect other pple's opinions. u mustnt force ur opinion on others, just give it and leave them to make their own decisions. never get upset if ur opinion is rejected. and lastly, its not at all times that u give ur opinions. yes. there are times its better to be silent and just listen. u shd be able to study ur environment to know when to speak and when not to.

Sometimes it is not what you say but how you say it or any underlying inplications that gets on people's nerve. A word of advice, sometimes, your opinions are just that, yours, so no need to voice some of them. I am all for "free" speech but it is not really "free" if you offend others. Also, you never know what goodwill you may be missing out of just because people form a negative opinion of you based on your assertion rather than understanding where you are coming come when you state your opinions.

The tone and manner at which u state your opinion matters a lot. I'm sure both would have been offensive many times, for the people to make it that obvious to u.

Now, everybody loves to state their opinion & want their voice not only heard but respected & acknowledged. But i tell u, their times u know your opinion on a particular subject will be very correct. But u may need to keep quiet & listen to others, that way u give others a chance. If u give others a chance to speak their mind u will always tap ideas from them & add to urs.

U need to listen to others & keep your opinion to yourself atimes cause if u go on like this, t even when people know u have spoken the truth, they still wouldn't take it, which is worse. Be wise! & try to be respectful even when u have to still speak ur mind.

You are even shouting in your posts. The problem must be coming from your tone/demeanour. Do more of listening and pause before you speak. Cheers.

That is okay too!  People who love you, will always love you for whom your are.  People who hate you will continue to hate you even if you change for them. . . .all you have to be is be yourself! kiss

Now if they say your hurt their feelings. . .you make amends and re-assure them it is not personal.  If they do accept your compromise anyway. . . they are just trouble makers.  Communication is the key.


People with self confidence and exposure are usually able to decipher when one is being sarcastic from when one is being malicious. Timid villagers usually can never tell the difference since all they have ever watched in terms of educational programmes is "Super Story"!
