Easily Offended

Why is it now that people get offended so easily? They take things such the wrong way sometimes. I mean sometimes you have to make judgements on people and just because you tell them something they don't like hearing should not make you the bad person. I'm just sick of people curling into a ball when a negative comment comes their way. Life is sucky but people will tell us stuff we don't like to know, but we don't want to know it because you know that person is right and you are wrong. The world would be much weirder if never said a thing to one another.

I agree. Some people need a cup of concrete! Not everything in life goes your way and not everyone is going to say nice things. It is just life, falling to pieces over it doesnt help anyone, especially themselves.

I both agree 'n disagree. No harm in being polite, respectful and appreciative of other people's feelings, but on the other hand, sometimes it does get a bit silly.

With so much negativity going on in a person's life, I doubt they would want to hear anymore **** that is to be given to them.

However, this case varies depending on the experience. Mmmmistress

Dylan, you generalize a lot.

Which people, which situations?

Eh. If someones offended they're offended. Just apologize and move on.

I really think it depends more on the person. I get offended pretty easily because I tend to over-analyze and get a bit paranoid about some things that people say. My own mind is already hurting me enough, I don't really need the additional pain from someone else offending me.

I am also easily offended because I suffer with a lot of paranoia and low self esteem. When shown it wasn't meant offensive, I can back off and usually apologise for being over the top. Some ppl are just sensitive. Don't get hacked off by it, it's just ppl and who knows what kind of day they might be having or what their circumstances are.

I'm easily offended both because of depression and lack of ability to understand someone's motives.

Everyone is different. I'm fairly certain this isn't a "new" thing like everyone tries to act like it is.

Yes Jimi I do generalize plenty don't I?? Ah sure people in general I mean, like all sorts of folks

I get what you mean Dylan. On one hand I see alot of people around who have a high opinion of themselves and are almost unreachable. I frequently witness them take offence when none whatsover was intended, its almost like they like to be kissed up to when the other realizes they have become huffy (for nothing) I blame the tv, everyones a diva these days and so terribly precious. Then theres the other set that cause the harm that seem to like to offend and say things in a tactless way. There are better words then `get over it' `deal with it' a good swap would be `Im sorry you are feeling this way, I dont know how to help' There are ways to say things and being mouthy and wise *** isnt it.
