being opinionated yet open minded |
That's a challenge,I think,to really be flexible and open
minded...It's difficult sometimes...having strong opinions about
certain things,yet being open to other opinions,and it's especially
important,I think,to be open minded to people who have ideas,opinions
that you don't agree with...That's something that I'm definatly working
on...

That's never been a problem for me, because I'm always right about
everything.

I'm not sure it's possible to be both opinionated, and open-minded, at
least not about the same things.
Having opinions, even strong ones, doesn't make someone opinionated
(IMO). Having fixed opinions does. If you have fixed opinions, you can't
be open minded about the subjects of your opinions, can you? The best I
can see is that you can be open-minded on the things you care about so
little that you don't have fixed opinions on them.

The opinions given above may be mine. They might also
just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

It's overrated, I already have opinions on things I haven't been made aware
of yet. That's right, I already know what I'm going to feel about something
yet to happen.
