Everyone is entitled to having their own beliefs. Some people keep them to themselves. Some like to blare them out every chance they get. And others have views so unconventional, they completely go against the status quo.

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.

Speaking as someone who was out on their ass at 18... basic parenting, including food, clothing, and sleeping indoors.... isn't nothing. Not when you consider what it's like to do without any of those.

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.

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."

You ruined it with "sure they're cute" because that's the whole point, they're NOT cute, people have just been trained into thinking they are. People need to realise that inbred dogs with serious health problems are the exact opposite of cute.

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. 

ADVERTISEMENT

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 ;)

Or, stop suing everyone for making mistakes. Yes there are serious negligence cases, but they're a lot less common than the cases where "negligence" is claimed, but it's just an honest mistake. Americans really need to stop that s**t.

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."

"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.

F**k off. I have a 60 pound pitbull and a 9 pound chiweenie. The pitbull is sweet but stupid, and she has no concept of her size. She's not allowed on the sofa because I don't want her jumping into people's laps, squashing the senior cat/chiweenie or trying to push into people's laps like a rude pig. She has a comfy bed right by my "spot" and other than yearning to be a lap dog, she's very happy. I also take her to the beach/hiking/ long walks and love on her. She was found on the side of the road in a forest, pregnant AF, has the scars from cigarette burns and was heartworm positive. I pulled her from the shelter the day she was going to be euthanized and went through the process of heartworm treatment then spaying, yet somehow *I'm* abusive? Setting boundaries with children and pets isn't abusive, it's responsible.

Yeah, this. We have more doggy-beds than couches in the house, all of varying fluffyness and size. I wouldn't terribly mind my dog to be on my couch with me but she doesn't want to be there and if someone decides their couch is only for human bottoms, that's just fine as long as they don't lock the dog in the basement or outside! And going for long walks with the dogs is more important than having them on the furniture anyway!

First off, whomever posted this probably doesn't have cats or a husky, second off I don't believe there's anything wrong with having an expectation to sit on a brand new couch that set you back a pretty penny without sitting in dog hair, slobber or cat vomit. But most importantly, barring abusive or neglectful pet parenting, stop being so judgmental.

Can't completely agree. Cats can be on whatever furniture they want. It isn't worth the effort of stopping them. We allow our black lab on the couches. But, I don't love him on the bed. Mostly because I can't sleep if my legs are restricted, which is exactly what he does.

That s**t never made sense to me. I get that cleaning isn't convenient, but imagine having places in your own home that you're not allowed for reasons you don't understand, when your world is already incredibly small. Furniture can be covered and cleaned, floors can be swept and vacuumed and mopped. The only place my dogs aren't allowed is *in* my bed because of my allergies, but they're still allowed *on* the bed.

Dogs are content enough that there's a clear rule, they don't care if they don't know why the rule exists. When my family had a dog we didn't let him on the furniture (except when he was scared by fireworks he wanted company). He had comfy places that were his and we didn't sit as well, so it goes both ways.

I don't see the problem with this one -- some people don't like dog hair, or dirty foot prints, or dog slobber, or whatever on the couch and bed. And dogs can live a happy fulfilling life without ever sitting on the couch. My dog doesn't even want to get on most furniture, he sleeps beside the bed, never gets on the couch or other furniture.... except for one chair near a window where we put a comfy blanket and he can sleep on the chair while still keeping an eye out for squirrels in his yard.

Why have pets if they aren't part of your life? If they scratch or chew your furniture, train them not to and give them plenty of toys and active playtime. Do research before getting an animal so you know how to best care for it.

Not allowing the dogs on the furniture doesn’t mean they’re not part of my life, or that I don’t know how to care for them. It means we set the standards, not them. It means I don’t want to vacuum the furniture every day, or deal with my daughter’s Heeler choking on a throw cushion, or her Collie turning the bedspread from white to grey, or our Pug hiding her treats in a hole in the upholstery, or our Greyhound wrapping himself up in the throw my daughter took so much care to make. Our dogs have upstairs crates at the foot of our bed, downstairs beds on the floor next to the couch, and made to fit beds in the back of our SUV. They go with us everywhere they’re welcome, and if they aren’t welcome, they go to doggie day care, where several well-trained associates supervise them indoors and out. They are obedient, well-trained, and a joy to have around.

When we got our rescue, we had to coax her into getting on the furniture. Now we can't keep her off and there have been plenty of times I've woken up with her at the bottom of the bed on my side, restricting me to roughly one quarter of a queen size bed. I have zero problems with this.

She loves to jump in mud puddles. I cannot shower her every day!! It wouldn’t even be good for her skin. So, nope. She is not allowed to be on my bed. But I do lay down on the floor to hug her and pet her.

I usually agree, but my family has a huge white couch (mom insisted), and both my dogs love to play in the mud so we don't let them on. We DO however have them sleep on our beds with us and let them get up on chairs, just not the couch. I can't get on the couch when I'm muddy either.

Sorry but no. I love my dog but he is epileptic and he doesn't need to be falling off the couch when he has a seizure - they happen from time to time despite his medication. My bed is a total no go because I sleep in an adjustable, hospital-style bed due to disability and it is actively dangerous for him to sleep there given I often wake and need to adjust positions. Also, it's a smaller bed than most adults sleep in and the lack of space would also result in a fall were he to have a seizure there. He deserves to be safe as well as loved and staying on the floor on a nice bed is safer for him. I do not love him less because I put his safety before allowing him on the furniture, where he could potentially be seriously injured by a fall. This opinion is misinformed and judgemental AF. Every pet owner has their own circumstances that dictate how they care for their animals. Just because someone does it different to you does not mean they love or value their pet less.

Yes, with caveats. I don’t let pet birds sit on my shoulders because of potential injuries and behavioral problems, and I’m not a fan of just automatically allowing dogs on all furniture or cats on all surfaces, either. But! When I’ve had pets I’ve gone out of my way to make sure they have as rich a life as possible. Trustworthy animals get to sit with or on me (depending on size) and are routinely invited to be on appropriate furniture. I also don’t just routinely “maul” them with kisses, pets or hugs without making sure they are ok with it. Animals are not stuffies or slaves. They are individuals with their own boundaries and needs, just like our human friends.

And then your dog lies on the bare floor, avoiding his nice bed, the rug, what have you. Vacuuming the endless corgi hair off the floor is hard enough for me. Vacuuming the couch is way too difficult. Our dog stays on the floor and nobody, including him, is unhappy about it.

Nope. Besides the obvious and previously mentioned hair, drips and smears, it's better for the dynamic if the dog is physically lower than the humans. That said my Lab has an impressive variety of beds in the house, from high end flat ones, to hammock style. No room we use is without one. (And he needs different type of bed for warm vs. cold weather.)

nah, pets are dirty and many people, e.g. your visitors, may have allergies. In africa we consider animals to not be humans and this thing of kissing dogs and treating them as people is repulsive to many of our citizens. You can downvote this if you think that whiteness is the correct culture and you do not understand being outside of the northern hemisphere. Muslims in fact deem dogs so filthy that they won't have them indoors at all.

Treating animals as family in the US is not relegated to whiteness here. We see suffering and want to help bc they need our help. They've evolved over 20,000 to 40,000 years as purely companion animals for people. There are fossils in South Africa of dogs buried w their owners from 1000s of years ago. So finding them repulsive would be fairly new to the story of humans. I guess it's the way your raised and what your taught. In the US were taught to take care of animals bc they can't fend for themselves. That's how they become like family for a lot of people. Plus they brighten your lives and it's been proven they help w stress, illness and loneliness.

Jeans and hoodies get washed maybe once a month (or three) unless something has got on them. You don't need to smell like washing powder, and constantly washing everything is bad for you, your clothes, your bank account, and the planet.

My husband and I have slept in separate rooms for over 10 years (due to his loud snoring keeping me awake). 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.

This is probably the reason why Adblockers are a necessity nowadays

And accessable. Don't forget, these tech companies are potentially alienating swathes of their target market who are missing limbs, have neurological issues that preclude motion detection, etc.

Yup. I've been a passenger while the driver just drove around and around waiting for one of the "good" spots to become available. Finally I said, "If we had just parked in one of the far spots right away, we would have been inside the store by now."

Urgh. My ex-husband used to say that all the time especially during arguments. "No one cares" or "no one feel that way". Well, I do. You can't decide on what to care about or feel based on your feelings and use that as the only truth. Blah.

They say money doesn't buy happiness, but I think this is it...this is the happiness money can buy.

I feel like the human approach to "what to do with the waste/recycling of electric vehicles" will (and probably is) treated similar to the problem of what to do with nuclear waste, and unfortunately, our approach seems to be to sweep it under the rug and let future generations figure it out.
