Do you get offended when people call you ugly?
Yeah I do. I may not show it but it does hurt deep down. "Words are bullets and can kill as good as any gun". Tell them to stop saying that to you because it offends you and it isn't funny even if they think it is. But if you cry it should get the message across and people should realize they are upsetting you. If they are really mean and carry on then don't give them a reaction because they will do it more. xxx
Why do people get offended they're called "Gay" ?
because they are used to people saying like an insult.. havent u ever heard someone say "thats so gay"... gays own name has become an insult and its not fare but someday it will change..through my bi eyes there is nothing wrong with being gay bi lez or trans.. the only people that got something wrong with them is the people who have turned our sexuality into an insult but thanks for not being one of those people:) i hope this has helped u to understand
Why do I become extremely hurt/offended when people call me names and say negative things about my spiritual faith? Is it normal?
Imagine that I would call you ehmm… Caveman. Let’s make it Marcian Caveman. How would you feel? I really hope you would be mildly amused at a total stranger trying to make you upset. Or are you indeed upset? Do you think I somehow know you? Does my words carry any weight? Are my angrily spoken impression your future?Again think about it for a moment. Here is something else. What is it I try to do when I speak with angry tone? Before you read on try to formulate that. Would you agree that anger is often result of lack of arguments? That my anger towards you really is telling you: this dude is out of valid material to convince me. Think about this. If I am angry and want to upset you, what words would I chose? Do you agree I best pick words that mean something to me, that cut open my soul as nervous 4 year old, words that sounded as if heaven itself tried to kill me?So when someone insults you they are actual giving away priceless info. You get to hear what words ripped them open. He wants you to shiver in the same uncontrollable way as he did when this was told to him.See… now suddenly an insult sounds no longer as a threat, but as a confession of previous pain, as a insight to the mind of someone who just run out of it.Make it happen
Why are women so offended by the term "broad"....?
Hey what's up, Brock? I love this! Actually, My family is Sicilian and my dad calls my mom a "broad" all of the time. He calls me, that too, in fact, he calls all of his daughters that. My dad and grandpa and, well... all of the men in the family call us and other women Broad, Dame, Lady, babe,Chick, Doll, Gal, girl, honey, skirt, and tootz. They use this language in certain parts of Italy, Jersey and NY. He means it in the most endearing way! my favorite, "look at dis broad, she loves me like no otha'." I love it, it's nothing like what the "general" people call us here in cali, I believe the term most men use for girls in cali is *bi%ches. No thanks! So, yeah, many people prefer to be called by their names as an individual, as do I. But I am not gonna get my pantyhose in a knot or judge the person calling me that name, because, I could be called a lot worse, and the definition of those words are not offensive besides the term being a little general. Thanks!
What does it mean when someone calls you a liability?
It means you're a hindrance in that person's life. Instead of being an asset and a positive influence in their life, you are somehow holding that person back and not allowing them to reach their full potential in one or possibly more of several areas, i.e. their career, their personal life, their financial position, etc. "Responsibility" would not really be accurate. For example, if Mary had the opportunity to go to an out-of-state college on a scholarship, but her commitments at home (she is the single breadwinner in a single-parent home) kept her from accepting, that situation would be considered a liability from her achieving her goals.
When someone calls you Ignorant?
I really don't refer to people themselves as ignorant just maybe some of their ideas but I know that there is no one without ignorance. So when you call someone ignorant is usually in jest to them as a person or just a current comment or idea? I try to remeber that when this reference is made to me in general which it has many times over, there is truth in the fact that yes I am ignorant just like everyone else in the world. As are my callers who are just as limited in there ideas or beliefs. Any thoughts....
Is it wrong to offend someone's religion?
Someone's belief system is usually only criticized or offended when it is imposed on others with different beliefs, seeks dominion over others, regresses scientific and intellectual development, harms the environment or destabelizes a peaceful society. In which case it is justified to offend a religion.
Would you get offended being called a monkey?
I mean if someone calls me a chimp or a gorilla i would actually take it the positive way, do you know how agile and strong chimps are? i would like to be as strong as a gorilla and as agile as a chimp. but anyway why do some people get offended being compared to animals, are we that much different from animals that it offends us when we are being compared to them? from what i know we are animals. I mean animals should be getting offended being compared to such horrible creatures like us humans.
Should you feel bad when people take things the wrong way and it hurts their feelings?
I’m just pondering this question myself right now. I was at a gathering on the weekend when someone said to me, ‘We haven’t seen much of you for a while.’ I said, ‘No,’ agreeing with her, and I sort of hesitated for her to say, ‘So how have you been?’ or whether I say, ‘I was doing something else the last time this group met,’ or ‘So how are you?’Instead, she swung on her heel and walked off, leaving me alone.I was too surprised to call out, ‘Have I offended you?’ and she avoided me all night and looked angry.I know I didn’t intend to offend her but - she took offence. So I don’t feel very bad about it, but I wish it hadn’t happened, I wish I’d spoken sooner or acted faster.I think if we realise what we’ve said was bound to hurt but we didn’t think before we said it or did it, that’s careless and more care comes with age. I’m thinking, extreme example, a joke about a fatal car crash and someone just lost someone they loved in a car crash.So we can think about it and whether it warrants an apology.Re my incident, it seems too trivial to phone and ask, and I’ve known her long enough, though not well, to know she’d brush it off. I could send a message through my husband to hers next time they meet to say I didn’t mean to cause offence.But I guess we can also think about whether the other person was thin-skinned or upset about something else at the time. This person, I don’t know what her agenda was for saying ‘We haven’t seen much of you for a while.’ It surprised me because I didn’t think she’d notice.In any case, if it’s not serious, it usually blows over.Thank you for the A2A.
