Are You Afraid of Being Unpopular?
If you're one of 10 people and 9 say "Yes" to something....would you be willing to be the one who says "No?"

If I feel it shouldn't be....absolutely. I have no problem speaking my mind. It's in my DNA.

Good question. Most likely, I would go along with the majority. Unless I felt very strongly about my stance, I will usually just conform.

You'd be a trip on jury duty. Everybody agreeing to guilty so they can go home...and Ny is the one hold out.

If I didn't care about whatever then I'd just go with the flow but I don't mind being an island in crazy river.

Sometimes that one hold out is the one that's right.

It all depends on what it is and the circumstances. I can be either way. Sometimes, to prevent awkwardness, I just keep my mouth closed, Period.
But I could be one of those holding out in a jury room.

One of the principles I live by:
If it's the right direction - swim upstream.
I've already been the lone dissenter many times in my life.

If it's something that isn't worth making a fuss over, then I will let it go. If, though, I feel strongly contrary to everyone else, then I'll speak up and be unpopular.

LOL, remember that episode on Living Single when Regine was on the jury of the Sara McQueen trial and she was the only one who voted guilty and it turned out she was right? That would so totally be me.

Depends really on what it is but I'll go with the crowd if I'm that outnumbered.

If I believe that I am right then I would not have a problem saying no.
