I second Ryask on the note that the world is full of rude people. Most times I get offended or take something personally, it's usually because I should. I only keep less than a handful of close friends & don't take acquaintance's opinions with a grain of salt. That implies that if someone says/does something I feel personally offended by; they are a close friend & there's a reason for me feeling hurt (read: pissed off & angry). Every person who has made snide remarks or who has attempted to push my buttons has been a poisonous person in my life & they have been thusly excommunicated. I don't allow myself to suffer at the hands of someone I am kind to.
