I’ve had people get downright rude with me, when I hadn’t intended to offend anyone, or they twisted something I said. That happened a couple of times, years ago. I’ve had my feelings hurt a lot, at times. When it happened the first time, it was four months after I’d been in the hospital, when I was suicidal, and I was still very delicate. I got out of jury duty for that reason, too, the same month.
If I disagree with someone, it doesn’t mean that I hate them. I have strong social anxiety, so I’ve taken it that way before, but I try not to.
it’s easier for me to not take offense, when I think someone is insulting me, in a way that would hurt them. My sister used to do that.
