Give me a fandom and I'll give you, either in the comments or in a separate post, five unpopular opinions for that particular fandom.

From a story telling stand point its interesting to see someone pushed into this corner of believing that she somehow became something different/better when she became a vampire because of all hte people around her telling her so many times. Especially interesting because she turned into a vampire and usually its just the opposite, she became a monster but suddenly she became better. But in the character way of seeing it (and I am bias because Caroline has always been my favorite) I hate that she's bought into it. That its been said by so many people, so many times, that its altered how she sees herself. The only time that I truly thought it was true was ironically when Klaus who was soon to try to kill her, told her that she didn't want the cure becuase she liked being a vampire and what it represented. And in a lot of ways I can see her wanting the freedom/protection that being a vampire gives her. As a human, she was Damon's play thing, she was attacked by Logan, she was constantly surrounded by all this bad stuff, but no one told her. Once she was a vampire, that stopped, she was no longer a victim and she was no longer excluded. So that aspect of it, I can totally see Caroline on her own wanting those things.

I agree. Matt always seems very done with all the supernatural stuff that's happening, and yeah, okay, I get that. But then hang it up, your an adult now, leave Mystic Falls behind you. He actively chooses to stay despite his hatred of it all, and is happy to blame everyone else, or just Mystic Falls in general. But he never sees how he plays into it at times (as a human he made the decision to drug Elena and make her leave town which ultimately lead to her becoming a vampire, and I'm sure there are other examples).
