I had one pointed out to me last night that I never really thought of as being odd until my friend brought it up and thought it was hilarious to watch.

Whenever I'm talking to someone I don't know very well, and they bring up some controversial issue which could, theoretically, make me uncomfortable, I always cover for being uncomfortable by just agreeing with them without actually saying I agree. Just to make sure the conversation doesn't turn awkward for the other person, because for some reason, I'm very opposed to making a bad first impression.

Like, yesterday, this woman was hanging out with us, and mentioned that she was at a Phish show, and hated their music and they were crap and all of this stuff...and that she was just there to meet up with her friends...and I was just like, "Oh, yeah, that probably sucked being on lot. I hear that the cops at Phish shows are really cracking down," instead of directly defending my own opinion. I always, always, do this. I never agree with them, I just don't say anything that directly shoots down their opinion.

I need to be less passive.
