Opinion



When it comes to certain situations I think sharing my opinion with others can be appropriate. I'm really shy, so I find it harder sharing my opinion with people I'm not close with. If it's an argument in a group activities or class discussion, I'll stay quiet unless I am asked for my opinion. I just like knowing that my opinion is valued before I give it. If I'm with my friends and family and the situation involves me, I'm usually more comfortable and ready to give my opinion.
 Overall I believe giving your opinion is only appropriate when you are asked for it. If you give it to people who really could care less about what you think it's better to keep it to yourself. I usually wait to know if what I think will be valued before I speak my mind. That is my opinion about what situations are and aren't appropriate for sharing your opinion.
