I think the most frustrating thing in my life that I have to deal with is simply this:

Every time I have an opinion on anything, of any sort, or any time I have a thought or idea that goes against what someone else thinks, my thought opinion is instantly and automatically wrong.

This is true of pretty much everyone I ever have, or try to have, a serious conversation with. Even my best friends and closest companions do this to me, and on days like this, I wonder why people even bother associating with me if they think I'm the stupidest person on the face of the planet.

Is it something inherent in me again? Am I really just utterly stupid? Do I really have no right to my thoughts and beliefs? Or maybe it's just that I don't actually have any friends, and I'm just deluding myself into thinking I do.

Should I really just go through life keeping everything I think and feel to myself? Or should I just accept that no one really cares what I have to say, and go through life vocal and alone?

Yes you do have a right to your thoughts and beliefs! There are times when poeple think they have more of a right than I do to either interupt what I was saying by speaking over me, or saying they "don't want to hear about it".
They are the ones not open to the opinions of others.

You have every right to your own beliefs and opinions, certianly. By their very nature, opinions differ from person to person. Most people konw that.

What many people are often less able to understand is that simply stating where one disagrees with another's opinion is not necessarily an attempt to invalidate their opinions or tell them that they're wrong; often it's somply sharing a different point of view, and perahps even discussing it.
