Are you easily offended? By things that people say? whether they are on TV or face to face, taling about you personally or a religion,country,race,whatever.
I think I have the answer for you..... Tough sh1t, grow up and deal with it.
I don't know about your country, wherever you may be from, but in the UK, a huge fuss is made about being offended.
Theres uproar if anyone gets offended, and I can understand that people dont like to be offended, but if you want to live in a democracy, that entails free speech and the price you pay for free speech is being offended every so often.
You don't get to live in a democracy, but not be offended.
Are you easily offended?
Do you ring up the TV people and complain?
Where DO you live?

sometimes when it hurts too much,or someone would be close to you can scratch your ego,when i emotioonally,and maybe frustrating stuff could affect my everyday life,but i want to practice not be emotionaly involved with some stuffs that are not really a big deal thats what im into it:)

Im filipina but recently living in Uk, if somebody offends me, i just smile, i try to be humble and calm all the time, as long as they never hit me or else im gonna fight back. Sometimes my hubby offended me, and i always tell him not doing it again coz it hurts me i might having a heart attack lolz. If friends offended me, i stop talking to them.
cheers!

Hey,
Well when I was smaller, I used to get offended very easily, but now for some reason, even if people start calling me names or whatever they try and say, it doesn't really offend or even hurt me. I just try and not notice them. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!
