I'm not sure, I think I do, unless you convince me otherwise.
-
My opinions are ignored, but I'm not easily swayed unlike the Romans when Julius Caesar took over.
-
I tend to have quite strong opinions on a lot of things but am always willing to concede that there are a lot of people that know more about a subject than I do myself . Therefore I am very happy to listen to others wisdom and opinions, even if I do not agree with the opinion.
-
I have annoyingly strong opinions. Even the presentation of new facts that refute my opinion won't keep me from changing my mind. Most of the time, anyway.

I have strong opinions, but I could be wrong...LOL

I feel I have gained a lot of knowledge in my years, I have a lot of life experiences though know they ae my onw and other people have their own. I have opinions and beliefs and values that I feel have worked for me and are logical to me. I think things through usually wuite deeply. I don't put up walls to learning and growing no matter what my age. I am not easily swayed as I have just heard and seen and read too much nonense to be quickly influenced. I have to trust and gain a certain respect of people before I would listen (though I just about alwasy at least listen to what somene says as long as it is respectful and kind. Yelling anger, and sarcasm gets you no where) and change my mind about a strongly held belief, but I do know there are certain truths and no one will change those. Not everything I know is a belief, Some I accept as fact.

i can be swayed but you would have to have a good reason
-
I have very strong opinions, though I'm not ignorant enough to say my mind cannot be changed upon hearing other opinions or learning more on the subject.

For me the two aren't as exclusive as the question seems to imply. Yes, I have very strong opinions over many subjects, but that doesn't mean I can't adjust my opinion after listening to someone and reasoning through the ideas/facts/opinions/beliefs they present to me. I see that as being able to adapt rather than being absolute and unshakable in my beliefs and opinions. Being adaptable and open to new concepts is integral (in my opinion) for me to ''grow'' and mature as a person, otherwise I just become another one of those people on train tracks, blindly travelling without the ability to steer myself; losing a 'connection' with people and everything around me as I go.
