I have a huge problem of agreeing with people just to make the conversation go smoothly. I have managed to come up with a million different ways of saying "I agree". I've even had somebody tell me, after about 10 min. of conversation, that I agree with everything. And, he said it in a pissed off way that made me feel like sh*t because he was right. A couple of times I got the feeling that a person just thought that I was trying to blow them off by agreeing with whatever they had to say in order to not have to talk to them anymore. While they were right, I probably did want to end the conversation, it wasn't because of them. I wish I could find a way to be comfortable with saying, "I don't agree".

I agree...I'm only joking. I do tend to do the same thing a lot of the time. The man who lives next door is a complete head the ball and everytime we end up chatting he scares me so much that I just agree with evrything he says.

Well, I've been told I disagree with everything! I think that might be just because I don't see the point in saying "I agree" when I do. I used to post to a philosophy forum, and I know a lot of people did that a lot. I didn't see the point in it, because it didn't add anything to the conversation.

I think it boils down to if you feel comfortable with the person or not. If you I feel comfortable with someone I can disagree all day. If it is someone I feel intimidated by on a subconcious level (usually from a fear of them rejecting and belittling me; adding to another thing for my self tormenting demons to feed on) then I will usually remain quiet when I disagree and sometimes get anxiety when I invision speaking up, especially in a group of people i'm not comfortable with.
