Hi unedited. I used to be a VERY thin skinned person and I've improved immensely with just the understanding of the following message (It's religious in its sentiment but can be applied to your life even if you're not religious).

"Offense is a stumbling block that Satan uses to keep many Christians from experiencing life to the fullest. You probably will not progress in your relationship with God if, every time someone hurts your feelings, you get offended. The word for offense that is used in the New Testament means "the part of the trap on which the bait lies to lure in its victim," and offense is part of Satan's trap to keep us from going forward in our walk with God. Decide to forgive others through the power of God's grace. If you're offended about something others did to you, ask God, May it not be held against them. Forgiveness is the solution."

If you're not religious, I'm sorry. However, think of it this way. If someone has something that's offensive or is critical, it's always about them and not about you. People express their insecurities by attacking others. By doing this, their fears can be kept in the dark. Keep your head held high. All is well.
