I feel like I’m too boring during conversations I have. I hesitate to say anything that might make someone dislike me, so I often give very bland responses. I also keep a very straight face, and curse myself afterward for not being more expressive. I often feel bad about this, because I don’t want the other person to think I don’t care about them.
How could I become more energetic and opinionated? Or, rather, more comfortable being myself around other people.

don’t curse yourself afterwards, it is hurting you.
I have recently started acting like this too and I don’t know what happened, I don’t blame myself for it though. If anyone has good suggestions for improvements, I would like to know as well.
Are your responses you’re thinking of offensive on general? Racist, sexist, etc? I mean, you can’t make everyone like you. You have to be confident in yourself. Your beliefs and values are YOU! If they don’t accept that, they don’t accept you and that’s okay! You don’t accept someone who doesn’t accept you!
Just ask questions about the other, what he thinks about the topic, why, when does he started to think like this ect. Doing this you don’t need to be « opinionated » because he will speaks for you and you just have to guide him. Then the biggest point is to LISTEN the answers. Learn about the guy, who he is, how he thinks ect. Then your reponses will come naturally
