When people get overly philosophical or argumenrative I tend to keep my ideas to myself because I don’t enjoy that form of communication, but I don’t actively hide how I for fear of being disliked or not welcome in the group.

Agree 100%. I only get into those kinds of conversations with a few people who I know are fairly open to new ideas or listening to opposing views. People who like to learn. Trying to make a nuanced point to someone who isn't really listening is such a waste of energy.
