Is it normal to go against people if i can't be neutral?

I don't know what this is but, I hate it when I'm forced to chose a side. I hate the "you're either with me or against me"-situation. If you're going to force me to chose a side, I'll go against you because you forced me to chose when I wanted to keep out of it. I mean, it could be a "where do you stand on abortion?" and I don't really want to be involved because it doesn't concern me. Or better yet, I'm not a sports fan. I hear guys saying "you should be a Yankees fan; Giants fan" (yes, I live in NY). I really don't care, leave me out of it. Is it normal to do feel that way?

    That's why God invented ambivalence. You can be in two minds about stuff like the ten commandments. You don't *have* to covet thy neighbour's ass just because you're told not to. It is a great ass, though, so I don't blame you.

        I don't know. I didn't get to bed last night and I was in a weird mood this morning. I'm as much in the dark as you are. :P

      Okay when I said "I'm not a sports fan" I mean "I could care less about the Giants, The Patriots, Yaknees, Redsox and all in between and all included." Great, now I'm rooting for the opposing team to the Giants. Thanks...

          I know. That's why I added "Thanks..." at the end.

            It's hard to tell tone of voice via text.

    Yes, I've felt this way before. And I've been in the same situation as you with the sports and all. My brother, a Met fan, and my brother in law, a Yankee fan, both get at each other sometimes b/c of it. They sometimes try to get me to pick sides, but I'm just like "whatever", because I'm not a baseball fan. And even when I'm sitting in the living room watching it, I only watch it because its on the tv. But I'm really not paying attention to it.

    Anyway, don't worry about picking sides when it comes to miniscule things like that. You can turn away and be silent for the small silly things like sports. But do speak your mind, and voice your own opinion for the things that really matter. For the things that could make a difference, that might actually need your voice. You can't turn yourself off from making decisions in life, because one day you might actually have no choice, but to decide.

      I'm just refering to things that don't concern me. Topics like abortion is one. I guess you can say I lean toward Pro-choice because I feel that "abortion deals with a woman's body; I'm not a woman so, I shouldn't be a part in this debate" And LGBT rights is another in the that same area of "I don't fall in that category. They're still rational thinking, feeling human beings, so I don't see what's the problem." I guess it's more when people are radical, that's when I want to go against them.
