I can;t help it. I can't form an opinion on anything and when someone makes a good point, I unconciously copy that statement and not taking into account that it's an opinion. I often use someone else's opinion in conversations.
When I like something and everyone hates it, I have to hate it too. My opinion molds into someone else's, I don't know it just HAPPENS.
That used to happen to me a lot, until I met other people who had a different opinion on a specific matter than the previous ones. I found it very unfair that I hadn't met these people first ; if I had then I would never have to change my opinion, but now I was perceived as not believing in it, eventhough I did at first.
From that day on I tried and managed to limit this "molding" effect. I still copy other persons' statements on matters I have no opinion on, but if I already have an opinion (including the aforementioned copied ones) then I keep and defend it unless someone convinces me otherwise with proper argumentation.
