Why Limit Yourself?

Description

And I swear this is the last stamp before I start replying to all of you :|

A bit more positive stamp here.
Around my friends I am able to freely say what I think, sometimes they may disagree with me but I never have to fear if they would get angry at me for thinking things opposite to them :U
No one, and I mean NO ONE should have to feel limited about what they say around their friends, If a friend can't accept your thoughts and your opinions without having a fit, then they don't deserve your friendship, because not only is that disrespectful, but I would honestly could not be friends with someone I feel like I have to be careful around in fear they may get angry :/
It's limiting YOURSELF for SOMEONE ELSE.
You shouldn't have to feel like your opinion has to be hidden just because your "friend" thinks differently, and I am not prepared to change my opinion on this subject matter :U

Those of you who have friends like that need to straighten up and wonder why you are friends with someone who can't accept you OR your thoughts, it is not helpful.
And I honestly don't care how "nice" they are to you, it should be PRIMARY that a friend can tolerate your thoughts, why? Because then they get the impression that they are always the one right, and you supporting that behavior is not good.
People NEED to learn how to handle other people's views and have two different perspectives other than just their own, it is not okay to just think that what you think is all that matters.
Maybe loosing a few friends because of that behavior will open those kinds of people's minds, not that I am supporting that, but if that's what it takes for them to understand, stick up for YOURSELF and do what YOU think is right in YOUR opinion and not that one person.

Maybe if I find some examples of this on the internet again, I'll show you all :U

Here are some common factors:

"I only like _____ because my friend likes it."
"I like _____ a little but my friend doesn't so I'm going to hate it."
"I would hate to get my friend angry about _____ so I just don't talk about it."
"I wish I could like ______ but my friend told me not to because _______**insert long lecture*** so I don't like it."
"I can't draw _________ ever."
"I'm afraid if I tell my friend about ________ and that I like ______ she'll hate me forever."

I've heard/read all of these, any other example would be great.
Don't limit yourselves people, spread your opinions (respectively of course) and don't let anyone tell you what's wrong and what's right because only YOU can decide that.

Don't limit YOURSELF, for SOMEONE else.
