<human>:  How can I get more comfortable in expressing my opinion?
<bot>: Start by finding safe spaces to practice expressing yourself. This could be among trusted friends who will be supportive of your views, or even a group or class where people are open to hearing different opinions. Once you gain more confidence in expressing your opinion, find more challenging and public spaces to do so. Be sure to do your research and be prepared to defend your opinion with facts and reason.
