For most people, another person doesn’t need to be contrarian to be interesting.

They are very predictable and tedious in their inability to accept ideas just because they are accepted by others. Being systematically opposed to ideas because they are perceived as mainstream is just as much of a fallacious reasoning than the other way around.

- chrisco255 4y agoIf someone is a contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, I tend to agree.
