I know this sounds super embarrassing, but I am legitimately afraid of having my own thoughts, opinions, and viewpoints.

(Which is ridiculous, because literally nobody can see into my brain and know what I'm thinking about!)

It feels like that, whenever I come across someone else that has a strongly built viewpoint or opinion, I must also adopt their opinion and viewpoint, because they seem so confident about it, and I don't feel much confidence in regards to my own thoughts. When I try to hold on to my own ideas it feels wrong, like I'm a bad person for doing so. Again, even though there isn't any consequence for thinking whatever I want to, as long as I don't express it.

How do normal people deal with this problem?
