What I Have Observed Options

[xoxoxx]

Hello!

So lately, I've been going on createblog a bit more. Not to reply, but just to read everything. What I've noticed though, is that a lot of times, someone will say something, and the people after that will agree and say that too. Then almost everyone agrees.

I know I've done this sometimes. But when I stop to think, sometimes I probably wouldn't have said the same thing if that one person didn't say that. sometimes I do it just for the post, and other times because i feel "safer". I know that I can't be criticized for what I said. If I was to be criticized, the other person who said the same thing would have to criticized too. It feels better when you're not the only one being criticized.

But the point is, I find this behavior kind of annoying. I guess it's ok if it's really something that's agreeable in an obvious way. But if it's a complicated topic with a a lot of different possible replies, and a lot of people agree with the same thing, it's weird, and annoying. Isn't the point of a forum to express your ideas and feelings? Yep.

So my bottom line is, say what you want to say. Say the same thing as someone else if you really agree. Yeah.

Have a good day.

Hello Phil and Sally!
How's life?

Anyways, this topic is really starting to confuse me.

As Yanners has said, everyone is agreeing with me again, which isn't a bad thing if they really do. I'm sure all of you agree. But you don't want to feel like you're following the crowd again, so you find ways to support why you agree. I think it's easier to find ways to prove me wrong.

But when you do, or try to, it makes you look like a smartass. In fact, I believe I've made myself look like a smartass by creating this topic, haha.

I really think that it depends what the topic is on, and how many different possibilities there are. And of course, it really comes down to how you REALLY feel, that you should be yourself.

Which brings up another mind-boggling topic. What is "yourself". How can you know who you are, if you've been agreeing or disagreeing with everything, just to be different.

I'm going to stop, before I blow my head up.
