The problem is that society expects everyone to have a pre-conceived judgement about every topic.
I encounter this frequently. "What do you think about <some news event>?" . "Do you think <some music genre> sucks?". "What's your position on <divisive topic>?".
Maybe I just haven't arrived at any opinion because it's not relevant enough to my life.
And this insistence in finding someone's position on every topic has a negative effect on conversation, because someone's always ready to take offence.
TLDR: as few opinions as possible, only relevant to your immediate circumstances
