Opinions Unnacepted?

Any time I am willing to speak out opinions, others refusingly accept them and try to tell me I'm wrong of what I say. If it's a tv shpw, movie, anything I get disrespected in a way that they judge me and making this unnecessary controversal war to prove that they are right as they think they state their opinions as facts. WHy do people do this, it makes no goddamn sense. We all have opinions(and it's not based of whether the opinions are right because it's in what you think that matters) people think I'm weird because i have a certain taste of music, don't like fashion/accesories, gain mucsle, ect. I cannot ever say my opinions aloud without anyone trying to make me feel like I should be everyone else. What happened to freedom of speech. That must've gone out the window already, now we just have to fill into our social stereotypes that everyone loves and see no different. I may be weird, do stupid things, but I would never be judgemental what others do. And I think everyone should do the same for me in return. I find it funny how I can't do anything,, I don't think I ever disregarded another's opinion of what they like/do. Now, if they were talking about opinions about something serious that isn't right(raping, drugs, ct.) I could see where that is coming from. But really, having ignorance among people who have different tastes than you? I should just keep my opinions quiet, noone needs to hear them anymore around me if they think it's the "uncool" thing in our generation.
 
I also have this problem, I say something and people just look at me like your wrong, it annoys me even more when they ask a question and I reply and they say im wrong then someone else says the exact thing and they are like yeah thanks for your help..excuse me? I just said the exact same thing? people are sooo rude! I also don't like when people talk over the top of me, when i'm trying to speak and they just carry on talking.

I'd benefit from that realistic feedback.

I get passive response, or equivalently smiles in return for formal or professional scenarios, or mere kindness - pretence. Value in either way

I've been waiting for a slap in the face to learn from. But the most unpleasant type is the surreal form of cold, frowning stare I get when I walk with people in public. I can't define the meaning. People stare at my clothes, hair, the eyes, or because I walk too fast? Wearing a suit & tie does draw mockery. No idea what it means when people wink at me or frown. It's natural for me to pull a smile or nod, and my mind's eye tells me I am mocking them with that... an old person with a zip frame (wheeled walking frame) or a little kid, by making them feel bad? :sad:

A buddy says he's been too kind to his girlfriend who's treated him badly about their kids issue

I have this happen as well. Whenever I try to participate and voice my opinion on something - whatever the topic - it seems I get shot down and I am looked at as being strange for actually speaking, if that makes sense. Very annoying - to the point that sometimes if I am thinking about speaking, I'll just keep my mouth shut, smile and nod.

My boss often shoots other people's ideas down. If someone presents an idea that he doesn't like, he shoots it down instead of giving that person a chance to further explore the idea. Speaking with him on the phone is no less difficult. He drones on and on and it's very hard to interject. Everytime I speak with him, he's the one talking 90% of the time and when I have something to say, I have to wait a very long time, or most likely I forget what I wanted to say. It's like listening to a lecture in class, for an hour.
