When not every opinion is greeted with open arms, we’re lucky to have the internet where we can spark a discussion with complete strangers. There’s an Instagram account dedicated to sharing some of the best posts from the popular subreddit called Unpopular opinion. From electric vehicles to stuffed animals, members of this community have something to say about virtually any aspect of life.

So get ready to dive into some of the best posts this account had to offer. Upvote the ones you agree with, and, if you want to stir some emotions, share your own disputable views in the comments below. Psst! After you’re done, be sure to check out Part 1 of this post right here.

I agree, too many times people feel entitled due to their age. You don't owe anyone anything. Congrats on the souvenir and the story you will be able to tell your friends and family.

Sometimes, we're discouraged from expressing our unpopular opinions because of the adverse reactions we might get from the people around us. Whether we’re talking about politics, religion, or popular culture, sharing our deepest beliefs can make someone feel pretty irritated. 

However, while some end up scratching their heads from confusion, others see a like-minded person and gladly show their support in heated discussions. After all, a controversial point of view does not instantly mean that it’s uncommon. When you push your fears of being the odd one to the side, it’s much likely you'll encounter others sharing the same thoughts as you. 

Brandwatch, a digital consumer intelligence company, was on a mission to investigate the most popular unpopular opinions on social media. They looked at consumers’ mentions from January 1 to June 30, 2020, excluding news, retweets, and shares. Results showed that 1.6M people shared their controversial beliefs in this period. Also, there were 34% more mentions during the lockdown compared to the four months prior.

Greed and narcissism... it's sad, but it's human nature. The majority of the people out there are fake as heck, and will do things like posting videos of themselves crying on the internet as PR moves, to help promote and enhance their brands, to help them gain those clicks, likes, follows, and subscribes. Even more sad is that there ARE the odd few out there who honestly have no one and no where else to turn to, and are using the internet to reach out. But those odd genuine few are usually buried and overshadowed by all the loud popular influencers out there, with their TikToks and viral videos and their memes.

Harassment is the right word. What happened to Diana and other famous people with the paparazzi actually haunting them, spying and giving no Fu*ks. But here's a thought: Who the hell buys those rag mag's is an accomplice bc if they stop buying that filth then the paparazzi will (nearly) go away or at least be way less.

When it comes to the topics people touch on, the top ones were about characters in pop culture, TV shows, dislike of fandoms, and books. People shared their complaints about some of the bestsellers of the century and aired their grievances about how some shows have become outdated. For example, 34K mentions called out Friends "for being hugely popular, despite some aspects not being acceptable today." 

The researchers also looked into Reddit, where 958K users shared their gripes. "It seems like lockdown got to Reddit users, too. Posts to r/UnpopularOpinions increased 105%." They found that many of these mentions touched on things that happened on the platform itself. Most of them were focused on sports players, subreddits, and seeing change as not being good.

Totally agree - birth control has failed for me twice, resulting in my youngest two children - two different kinds of birth control at that - I'm now sterilised as I can't afford physically to have another child - but I'm so fed up of the responsibility always being mine - I was a tad upset that my husband wouldn't get the snip - I probably would've ended up getting sterilised anyway for peace of mind but I've had 4 children, I've carried them, birthed them, breastfed them for years of my life and taken tablets, had contraptions inserted into my cervix, had injections with horrid side effects I just had to ride out for months - my body has been through enough and at that point I really didn't want to go through anymore, but I did, and it floored me for months - I also have fibromyalgia and as such the recovery just took forever as the trauma of it caused my whole body to go into meltdown. My husbands contribution to our children was sex. Doesn't seem fair

Vasectomy. Like... No one of my friends can say Oh yes of course, we dont want another child so my husband will go to vasectomy. No. Every fu**ing man Is very offended when his woman starts with this topic. If She even starts - a lot of them just dont feel like that. Because woman Is responsible for birth control, she can be pregnant and - i know we are proud on it but still - destroy her body, she can give a birth and than breastfeed a baby for months up to years and than She should be responsible for birth control again And také hormons oř ovarysectomy or whatever. The man can't. Too big sacrifice. Selfish as f**k. Oh im so angry when im thinking about it

I don't understand how it's always the woman's fault if she gets pregnant unintentionally. Plus, vasectomies are reversible and much less expensive than a woman having a hysterectomy!

No, they aren't reversible. They don't do a simple "snip" anymore like they did in the early days. The tube would often heal back together and the only sign was an unplanned pregnancy. Happened to a co-worker. Now they remove a part of the tube so that can't happen... which makes "reversal" more difficult and less likely to work.

There was a version of male birth control but they stopped selling it because the men taking it complained that “it gave them mood swings and headaches” and it was then considered inhuman even though female birth control does the exact same thing

If a woman wants to see a pregnancy through....and a man wants no part of being a parent....that man will be forced into 18 years of child support payments There is actually precedent of a woman, raping a man.....and that man still being forced to pay child support. If a woman wants to have an abortion, and a man desperately wants that pregnancy to be carried to term...well he's s**t out of luck. Now, i agree that men would absolutely jump at the chance to never have to worry about knocking up some random regretful encounter..... But...the ongoing declarations of "I HAVE ALL THE POWER" followed by "ooo responsibility tho, well i can't always remember to take a pill...everyday....at the same time...and ya know it's not really fair" Have grown a little stale

Why does a certain group always try to reinvent the wheel when it comes to this topic? Condoms have existed for centuries, using them is way easier and less intrusive than taking some king of a pill on a regular basis or having a vasectomy. Men have had full control over this matter for ages, and those who don't use the current solution wouldn't use any "new" solutions either. Besides, condoms also protects from many diseases, which other types of contraception don't.

I had a vasectomy when I was younger because I knew we didn’t want anymore children. I could always have it reversed if we changed our minds. Birth control shouldn’t always have to fall on the woman. They have enough in their lives to worry over!

Oh you are confusing boys with men, yeah a boy will f**k anything that lets him, he also will do almost anything even snip his balls to get laid, issue is docs do have requirments for snipping they won't snip young people with no kids with out a legit reason for them not wanting to breed for liabilty and ethical reasons. Like I almost had it done in my 20s at time no doctor would do it for my age group unless I had at least one child first.

Those boys child, most guys would do it in a heart beat but because all s**t most docs won't do them till your certain age or got x kids already. Last time I looked into it the places offering said they wouldn't do it for some one in their 20s unless you already had at least one kid, for ethical reasons. And my cousin has damn thing done twice still has two babbies when he suppose to be fixed lol. He is f*****g pissed as hell had it redone when first didn't take, used a new more expensive dock with higher success raiting ended up with another kid. Third time having his balls snipped seems to be the charm no kids so far but he is in fear that s**t will reverse itself again lol I mean I know 3 guys say its nothing one can't get his reversed he is permantly steral, other 2 both had it come undone on its own. It just seems like comdoms are f*****g better then that s**t more I look into it. And yet I want kids one day so that like 1/4 chance it can't be reversed scares s**t out of me. Or else I would have it right now.

Men should really think of a vasectomy as a birth control for themselves. It's much easier and simple than tying a woman's tubes, and it's also reversible! It's very difficult, if not impossible to reverse the tying of tubes. And while on the subject - if a woman decides she wants to tie her tubes, do NOT tell her she's too young, or that it's up to her and her future "husband" to decide if they want kids! A woman knows her mind and can make life long decisions for herself just as well as a man can!!

Why do you think there is so much research into male birth control? That isn't an unpopular opinion. Practically everyone wants that. But keeping an egg from dropping or getting fertilized is much easier then temporarily making you shoot blanks. Killing sperm is easy, putting them to sleep until you want to use them is much harder.

From what I've read on this, birth control for men hasn't been solved in a way that doesn't risk actual sterilization, like the pill does for women. Men don't have a menstrual cycle to manipulate. Their balls are always in the "ON" position.

Men CAN take birth control. They just won't, for exactly the same reason my husband wouldn't have a vasectomy, even though we both agreed very early on that we didn't want children. I couldn't take the pill, as I had reactions to them all, he "doesn't like" using condoms, so I had to use the withdrawal method. Had I become pregnant, I would have to have had an abortion, and deal with all that physical and emotional trauma — all because he wouldn't have a small operation. Selfish d**k.

The problem is that male birth control is a lot more difficult. Instead of dealing with one egg, you need to deal with millions of spermatozoa. Also: men don't get pregnant. If you take birth control pills as a woman, you have the situation in your own hands.

As a woman, and the person saddled with all the consequences, I would never trust a man I was not in a committed relationship with to be responsible for the birth control and subsequently my future.

Read a study ince that women having sole access to birth control gave them a unique power in relationships. It was basically the stimulus for gender equality. Be careful what you ask for.

Lots of men do use birth control. It's called a condom. That's about the only method of birth control that is available for men with current medical science. There is no "men's birth control pill". You can't fault a man for not using something that doesn't exist. That said, there is one form of birth control that either person can practice that is guaranteed 100% effective: Don't have sex if you don't want a baby.

Vasectomies, condoms? Birth control, aka taking hormones to manipulate hormones should not be used because it messes with some of our most basic physical systems. Not for men, not for women. Also, it only works because women have hormonal cycles to mess up to begin with. Men don't. And messing up sperm production seems even worse.

They developed male birth control but shut down the study saying the risk was too great. Men on the study reported depression, mood swings, weight gain, and lower sex drive. Same side effects women experience with birth control, and they justified it by saying it was more harmful to men and a higher risk because men weren't use to that and women are.

Unfortunately the last attempt at that caused "acheing" in the groin and apparently that was just too much for the men testing it. Going to be a while if males continue to be unwilling to tolerate some pain for it.

Whichever one has the lesser side effects should be the one we use. Women's birth control has pretty bad potential side effects, including a risk of blood clots. If they invent a men's birth control that has less severe side effects, they should take it.

I agree. Condoms are super easy and relatively affordable but I'd be for a male birth control

Take ownership ffs!! If your partner isn't enthusiastic (and I mean that quite literally) about birth control (condoms, vasectomies, pills, etc, etc) and you are, then DON'T have sex with that partner. Good grief! How f**king simple does it get? Get over yourselves and take control of your lives. It isn't that difficult. Ugghhhh!

man, american women are so annoying and its funny as a european in the states not being afraid of them, they seemed to be more respectful to foreigners and i got laid like crazy. USA = paradise No one forces anyone to use birth control, why women seem to use it more frequently would be that the woman is the likely to get pregnant(i know its obvious but thats the level we have devolved to) meaning they wantto make sure they are protected. Like, what? on a one night stand they will go, hey man take a male birth control pill or what not because equality and the guy will be like b***h, i dont even remember your name, stfu

So while it can be fun to share your controversial views online, they also let others say opposing views, have heated discussions, and see things from different perspectives. Anna Akbari, P.hD., is a sociologist, writer, and speaker who shared her thoughts on why unpopularity isn’t necessarily a bad thing in a piece on The Psychology Today

She explained that if we want to be happy, successful, and feel of service, we don’t actually need to appeal to the masses. "See, we’re complicated beings, each with our own unique experiences, full of biases and contradictions and, hopefully, a point of view," she wrote. "Having a point of view is a good thing, even when that view isn’t universally embraced."

100% - the cheater is the one at fault - unless the people they cheated with is also someone who you have a relationship with then it's equal blame as they both owe you loyalty. I've never understood the blame being passed to the person they cheat with, and it's usually women who blame the other woman when their guy cheats - I sure there's a patriarchal link to all that that could be deciphered but seriously, they're just a shitty person if they knew he was involved with someone - if they didn't then they're just as much a victim in it all. This idea that men can't help themselves if offered sex has to stop - you don't accidentally have sex - yeah, you may regret it after but you totally know what you're doing while you're doing it.

While we can wholeheartedly stand by one issue, we can also not see eye to eye on another. "Agreeing to disagree on most things in life is fine—assuming it doesn’t restrict the liberty or human rights of others. It’s when we start to think that we need to agree on everything all the time to merely function together that we get into trouble," Akbari mentioned. 

Needless to say, popularity isn’t essentially bad. Lots of things that are commonly and generally accepted by our society are considered as "safe". Akbari explained that we don’t have to immediately or categorically reject the popular stuff but rather "selectively embrace it, or at least occasionally challenge it."

Yes, it really should be free. I have been in therapy on and off for years and it has been free (/paid by taxes). It's due to mental health issues so free healthcare = free mental healthcare. I learned a lot and cope much better. I wish it was available to all who needs it. To hear that people live with anxiety, ptsd, depression etc and can't afford therapy to learn how to cope better is really, REALLY sad.

However, if your views are not clinging to the mainstream popular or if they tend to stir some unexpected or even rude reactions, "don't despair. You don’t need to bend toward conformity, and you may even be able to cash in—financially and socially—on stepping outside the conventional bounds."

She mentioned two rules that people who tend to lean into unpopularity should remember. The first one is that you should actually believe what you’re saying or doing. "Disagreeing for the sport of it is annoying and, rightfully, no one likes or respects you if you do that. So stop it," the sociologist advised.

Retired teacher here, so let me weigh in on the realities. For elementary school kids, I'd overwhelmingly vote yes. Younger kids want to please the teacher; they want to be around the teacher, around other kids, in class. HOWEVER, as someone who taught middle and high school for 26 years, this does not work at all. By that time, there are a lot of kids who are looking for any way to leave the classroom. Yes, there are times they need to use the bathroom, but quite often they also want to socialize. There have been groups in certain years (not all by any means) that texted and met up in bathrooms and fought, too. It helps if a teacher has a sign in/out pass, or gives a certain number of tickets per month. Other children who don't have to use the bathroom COULD give a classmate a ticket if they felt generous.

"The second rule is to embrace your unpopular opinions with the knowledge and grace that not everyone shares your point of view," she continued. This rule can be quite tough since we humans have a general tendency to want others to agree with us. After all, it makes us feel heard and valued. 

However, following this guideline "starts with a promise to both give up convincing other people to buy into your less popular opinions and to stop shaming them for their own thoughts and actions."

My previous boss (who was an absolute jerk!) used to say "there's a line of people waiting to take your place, if you quit." I did quite eventually. Seven years later and... my place is still unoccupied. And not just mine - two other people also quit from that office, and replacements could never be found. Or someone would start and then quit a month later due to the conditions. I guess the line of people for my spot turned out to be a bit too short ;)

We have to get rid of the phrase "unskilled labour". A janitor needs practical skills far above average (at least a good one does), and the working conditions of courier drivers or fastfood workers require a great deal of stamina and resilience. In any job you can go from beginner to master, working your job better or faster. Even more important, the economy absolutely depends on the jobs we tend to call "unskilled". Usually, in any company, if a middle manager is absent for some days, work continues more or less as usual. If the cleaning lady is absent, you notice the problems after a day or two the latest.

After that, it’s all about trusting yourself. If you believe that some things are just not right, don’t be shy and share your views with others because, chances are, there are people out there just like you. According to Akbari, there is value in dissent. "There’s often truth at the fringes and insight in unpopular perspectives. Greatness comes neither from blindly following nor from knee-jerk rejecting."

ADVERTISEMENT

"Many of our greatest historical figures held really, really unpopular opinions. They did stuff that made people cringe or even retaliate against them. Going against the grain takes guts. And that courage is admirable, even if we disagree with what they’re saying or doing—but only when executed with integrity from a place of personal honesty," she wrote.

We are very happy together and have no real problems in our relationship - we just both like a decent night sleep. People assume that we aren’t intimate and/or that our whole relationship is falling apart, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

I went to France twice. One time through the Christmas and New Year's holidays and then again in Summer for rock climbing and rappelling. Both times I and the people I was with were all treated like crap by every French national we crossed paths with even though we were always discrete and polite. Had the same experience later in Quebec. It's left a lasting distaste with me for French Culture.

Where do you stop though? Football, rugby and cricket pitches are dotted across my city. Should all organised sport be outlawed? Bottom line is people are paying to use that greenspace so it maintains itself. Parkland needs maintaining and with no income stream, that can end up costing the local authority quite a bit. That said, there is a place for parks and everybody should have access to greenspace, it's just how do we do it and keep everybody happy whilst balancing the books?

Depends on the strangers. Some people are reasonable and we can have a civil conversation regardless of how much we disagree. Others are just jerks and are impossible to reason with.

I used to work with several women who drove huge feckin range rovers. Exactly one of them knew how to a) drive it properly and safely and b) got it in a parking space the first time. She lived on a farm. It was an appropriate vehicle for her. The others? Wanted to make sure their precious six year old Joaquin made it the half mile to school "safely"

I think if it's done correctly you don't notice that it's there - it's the crappy and overdone ones we notice and then judge everyone by that standard. My ex Co-worker used to get it done every 6months or so and you really wouldn't know if she hadn't told you, it was done in a way that stopped her forehead wrinkling up, crows feet etc but still had plenty of movement and expression - if I ever want it done I'll be going where she did. She looked awesome and at most looked like early 30's when she was twenty years older. Making it readily available via people who have short term courses to qualify is what makes it look horrific

It's partly the fault of Hollywood, and the media in general. Most of us are convinced that once we found "the one" they will complete us, compliment us and fill in all the gaps and cracks in our lives, in our hearts. Not sure that is healthy to be honest - it hypes them up to an unrealistic degree in our minds, and makes relationships more "magical" and unobtainable than they might actually be.

I worked with EMI (elderly mentally ill) predominantly Dementia and honestly, I would take cancer over it. Forgetting my friends, family, loved ones and having to be cared for 24/7 is hell. I had to do it for my grandfather too and watching a strong independent man waste to nothing destroyed me.

It happens in Canada, too. I used to work odd hours, sleeping into the early afternoon, then work in the evenings. When maintenance would come by I'd get weird looks and questioned if I was sleeping or why I'm sleeping. Seriously?! Not everyone works 9-5p, and this is my space to rest when I want. Don't need anyone permission.

Former teacher here. There are three reasons you go to school (at least in the US): 1) To learn a base set of knowledge so you don't look stupid in conversations ("I thought Africa was a country!") 2) To learn HOW to learn. Your style of learning is unique to you, and you need to learn what that is. It's probably not going to be spot on with what the education system has to offer, but you'll be learning how to handle things in that type of environment. 3) To learn what you want to learn. My son is getting a PhD in Spanish Language Arts right now. If he hadn't been forced to take a language in middle school he would never have known that he like languages and had an affinity for them. It's not about learning the right structure for an essay, it's about learning how to organize your thoughts so when you go to write that grant proposal, you do it so well you get the grant!

So how does paying for someone else in advance work anyways? How would you know what their order is and how much they will cost? If the person orders something more expansive do they have to pay the difference? Would they get a refund if their order cost less?

you can't expect teachers to create brand new quizzes for every class. There is such a thing as validity of the quizzes and that can't be calculated if you use new ones all the time. If you're trying to be fair, then you need to know that the same score on a test will actually mean the same thing.

Tipping as a requirement is stupid and shitty management if they aren't paying properly, if tipping is mandatory then just change your menu prices...oh wait, that costs you a tiny bit more in tax. Delivery drivers being tipped? That's stupid, again just charge (more) for delivery. I get good service, I tip, but wages are the responsibility of the management, not the customer.

My mom used to go through all of my stuff about every 6 months, always when it was at school or camping or what not. She would throw away almost everything. I learned not to bother trying to have anything and if a friend wanted to give me a gift I'd ask if I could keep it at their house, otherwise I wouldn't have it long. It's probably because of this I'm not materialistic at all and the total opposite of a hoarder. My place is very spartan. No my mother isn't spartan. She's not a hoarder but has a house full of stuff and many storage units full of stuff.

Not sure not showering is "shameful and might be harmful", I think that's the whole point they were trying to get across. There's a difference between never showing and assaulting peoples' noses, and not showering daily while still smelling fine.

Totally agree with the first part of your post, completely disagree with the second. Trophy hunting does not play the slightest part in sustaining the lion or rhino population, and both are not that big in numbers that the populations would have to be controlled or decimated (, which is the usual reason for hunting in most western countries).
