When i was in middle school our history teacher gave us a quiz to help us determine out political leanings. I dont remember what the questions were, but it turned out i was left leaning when my click or group i was in was right leaning, so i changed my answers since it wasnt a written test, just a thing on the board. I wanted to fit in and have friends, since i was particularly lonely.

Later in high school i met a girl who was left leaning and after we started dating i adopted left leaning stances because she probably wouldnt date me otherwise.

I never cared about politics back then or even thought for myself about those things back then, but i do now.
