> However, your decision not to put in a harsh description of your opinion "this sucks" comes off as an insecurity rather than an improvement. You're softing your language over fear of perception. It's not adding anything to the conversation. Your decision to hate Nickelback comes across as insecurity, trying to have "right" opinions by piling onto the same opinion as a bunch of people on the internet. Posturing that you don't care about other people's opinions fools no one, because a) your entire hatred of Nickelback is other people's opinions that you adopted, b) you're here trying to change people's opinions, and c) you should care about other people's opinions; you can't please everyone but other people's opinions do affect you, and staying likable when it's absurdly simple to do so, is worth doing. And hating Nickelback is not adding anything to the conversation.
