I mean, we all hear about people thinking what they think only because the people around them think it too. So how do you avoid doing that?

There's endless arguments about everything if you look for them. My advice is to really consider what you feel to be your "guiding principles" and use them to well, guide you. This gives you a kind of framework to evaluate arguments you encounter, and can keep you grounded when you might otherwise get overwhelmed.
