I am the queen of sarcasm so it takes a quite a bit to hurt my feelings, although I am dealing with holding grudges and letting it go after someone's words truly have hurt me...How easily do you get hurt by insults? Do you forgive easily someone who insulted you?

You can only be hurt by someone's insults if you value the role that person plays in your life. If that person doesn't make a difference in your life, their insults will not make a difference in your life. There's nothing to forgive unless you have a need to feel "bad".

When I was younger I would get my feelings hurt very easily. Now, I really don't care much if someone thinks something bad of me. Think about it this way: If they were happy with their own lives, why would the spend time judging other people and insulting them. When you're happy with your life, you're concentrated on your own life, and not on the lives of those around you. So if someone insults you, don't be hurt, instead feel sorry for the individual who insulted you because their own life is so dull they have to concentrate so hard on yours.

Hi there Rozeena, I am a super sensitive individual. Hurting me can be the most easiest thing that one can do. Even a little thing can hurt me to the core and almost kill me. But then, I don't show the person that I am hurt, one thing because, I don't want to hurt that person telling that I am hurt or he/she hurt me(If the person is important to me) else, if the person isn't important, still I wouldn't say just because I wouldn't want to give the pleasure of hurting me. I forgive easily the people who hurt me and I easily forget it also, but sometimes if the issue is really big, then I will forgive for sure, but it will take some time to forget the whole thing.

I am hypersensitive but I don't usually feel insulted or offended by others. I believe that it's my choice to be insulted or offended; however, if someone tries to intentionally insult me I will avoid them in the future.
