Hi Greenlife. I know what you mean- sometimes it's easy to get sucked into thinking the same way the people around you do. The key to not letting this happen comes down to leadership qualities. The leader of the group is the person with the strongest sense of what is good and bad- they don't need other's approval for what to think. You need to be that guy if you want to maintain your own beliefs when you're around others and then other people will be sucked into your way of thinking rather than what you're currently experiencing.

Yeah but he might just be saying nobody likes a smartass. Oh, woops
