A Harvard University study examined the way people responded when asked for their opinions on various subjects. Researchers didn’t care about the answers. They were looking for ways folks in their study reacted to the question, “What’s your opinion?” Some respondents felt perfectly comfortable having their say, but a surprisingly large number answered, “It’s your decision” or “If it works for you, I’m okay with it.”
Why not offer an opinion? Study leaders concluded that many of us intentionally withhold opinions to appear amiable and easygoing, leaving decisions to the most vocal so they’re not blamed for opinions that could backfire. What about those of us who have nothing to lose by sharing our thoughts? They’re likely to lead the most interesting lives because they are sure they’ll be rewarded for giving their opinions. In sum, there’s no downside to expressing your thoughts!
