When you make an opinion, how do you feel about those opinions? Do you speak as if it is just your opinion and your opinion based on your perspective, a popular/majority real world opinion, or do you think there is some truth to it, that actually your opinion is the truth and nothing else is right


we come on here with overconfident opinion as talk as if they are true. I think I can speak for myself, but I try to speak Or think as if it is only true in my perspective. Does this apply to you? Or do you think your opinions actually hold weight in terms of reality, or make them based on “popular/majority opinion”

Nopes. Opinions are just opinions not universal truth. Which is why its very important to hear different opinions and respect them even if you disagree. Because there is no universal truth,

Dukhte rag par haath rakh diya.

Someone really crept under my skin on this one by acting all-knowing on whether and why SSR rejected some movies offered to him. 😭

At least I know that my opinions may not be the truth. They are my guesses at truth.

Opinions, Facts, Conclusions, Assumptions, Truth and Lies are all different things. Unfortunately it looks like a lot of people are unable to differentiate between them.

Say if I don’t think someone is a good actor, and I say that person is a Bad actor.

Wouldn’t this be an opinion based on my perspective? And not necessarily what is true or factual. Idk I feel as if there is a difference
I can’t speak and confirm that that person is a bad actor. And I can only say my perspective.
whether this perspective is influenced by a majority/ popular opinion, or whether it is truly what I find in my view..that’s what I’m asking.

If everyone says Abhishek bhachan is a bad actor for example, is my opinion based on my view of them or is based off of other people saying he’s a bad actor? And even if i think he is a bad actor in my perspective, there is no truth to the fact that he is a bad actor. I am making an assumption.

Opinions are just that--opinions. They're perceptions people develop over time and are subjective to their own experiences and thought processes.


Anyone who tries to hammer their opinions like they're "facts" either lives in a cocoon or cannot tolerate differing opinions ... then reason goes out the window, things start getting ugly, namecalling starts.

Absolutely. See opinion's are never universal truth's they are just your opinion, perspective, likes and dislikes based on your experiences. But sometimes for the sake of an argument we need to come to one conclusion.

For example i don't like Tiger or Salman as actors. That is my personal opinion and not a universal truth. But if i am in a discussion with some one discussing successful actors then i will have to give them credit that they are successful as they have given many hit moves. Hence i have to concede that i many not like them but majority do.

It doesn't necessarily make my opinion false. Its still right from my perspective but different from majority. I am stressing on the word different again.Many time's some one's opinion is different from the majority that doesn't make it wrong its just a different opinion . May be that persons life experiences are different hence he or she thinks differently from majority it doesn't make the opinion false.

Yes opinions about movie, performances, art , looks and such are just that - opinions

They’re subjective.

(Although in AB jr’s case it’s a fact 😆)


I thought you were speaking generally


And majority opinion, other people’s opinion do color the way we see things even in social, political issues which are not that subjective usually
