My friend had noticed my usual habit of steering away from heated debates and not taking part on them. He commented to me when we were alone that I enjoy a certain popularity since I had that certain task. He said that I might gained that popularity by just sitting aside and not talking much. I am quite surprised since I do participate a bit much but I always stay apolitical or I come up as hardly religious. basically, I am neutral, which is always not the best nor the worst role in some instances.I am not sure whether I should be happy about being popualr because it is not really my thing. I don't know that I somehow lacking in action or being timid at times but that's hardly a criteria to be popualr.
What do you think of my situation? I think it's kinda weird.

It is always good to steer clear of all the controversies that spring from one's words and actions. Everyone has his right to have his own point of view and going against it only for the sake of argument never helps. Staying away from politics and religion is the sanest decision as all heated debates centre around these two.

I agree. Which is the reason when they are discussing religion and politics,I'm reading a good book.

Actually, it is much better not to take part in any discussions you do not have an opinion, or its is just not of your interest. Actually my behavior is much similar to yours. Even, the colleagues of my husband have told him that "I'm either too shy or too proud". Anyway, I respect people who speak when they have something to say, and this is the reason to start carefully choosing with whom to go out.

I guess you are right. I am not against opinionated people but sometimes I do get my fill of them and some times there are people who even comment on false pretenses. I get that everybody has an opinion and an agenda but I expect some sort of objectivity on the same level.
