Most people mostly care about his/her own opinions, and others opinions only insofar as they reflect on himself/herself (even though of course the others are also thinking about themselves mostly), we're hopelessly self-involved creatures like that. Nonetheless there is inertia and subtle shifts that can come from sharing them, and though it may often feel like coming up against a brick wall if you look in the right way you'll see the bricks may be aligned a bit differently, and you can trace some of those differences to opinions you may have expressed. As always the wise approach is probably somewhere in the middle, in this case choosing your battles. You don't have to voice every opinion, but you shouldn't be silent if you have a strong and well-formed opinion about something important.
