Being offended is a sign of weakness

I tend to frequently upset other people because I do not care if I offend them. I see it as their problem if they cannot handle life.
I just cannot empathize with why some people are easily upset.

    Getting offended over anything less than a direct insult to yourself, friends or family is indeed pathetic. Many times these people are simply drama junkies: there is such a lack of conflict in their actual lives that they must seek it out online.

    They don't realize how self-demeaning it is to say, essentially, "I'm not strong enough to handle life. Change it for me, because I lack the willpower to change myself."

    Depends over what tbh

    I do think, generally, people are too offended over small shit these days yes. And that's not just the typical "fat lesbian college feminist with blue hair", it's everyone. Often people who love complaining about "political correctness" are some of the MOST easily offended people themselves... there's a reason "political correctness" bothers them so much, let's just say that.

    There's some genuine legit things to be offended over sometimes, but over a "microaggression" or a joke? Girl grow the fuck up.

    You are right. People generally getting offended for stupid stuff. i.e. at my work lot of women complains to their managers for nothing.

      Seriously tho must we empathize with every damm thing someone might feel? Some stuff is just to stupid to bother with.

        Lol,
        OK, I hear what you're saying, but the things you are genuinely against someone else might see as stupid. I don't think radical unbiased empathy is a reasonable expectation that everybody should achieve or that its even possible. And I'm definitely not saying to agree with anyone you don't, but I think there's always value to be gained in trying to put yourself if someone else's shoes.

        And hey, even in your comment there, you show how you understand that calling someone a fucking pussy could offend them. But to me no, you gotta try harder than that! haha

    Being easily offended is a sign of an underdeveloped identity.
