Insults of any kind don't bother me

Why do poeople take insults so seriously? There are people at my school who, if insulted, will try and get into a fight with the person who insulted them. Or internet fighters! Why do people get so worked up? I feel the same about racism. I am white and, if a whole group of guys from another country started calling me some skinny assed white boy (which I am! xD) I would just laugh. I can understand that racism against blacks was once a very serious issue so I get how it can be offensive but... Why do people these days have to take things so seriously? Call me what you like, you aren't going to offend me! Why do other people care? Are you insulted by insults?

      I generally don't get worked up over insults either. When I see macho tough guys beat eachother senseless for insulting eachother, I compare them to overly-agressive primitive dogs.

    It's cool not to care.
    The only person's whose opinion of you matters is YOURSELF.
    To be any other way is to have low self-esteem.
    It also makes you a target for haters who love being able to get a rise out of the easily insulted.

    I'm not insulted by most insults either, but there are a couple of things that people say that hit a soft spot for me.

  • I agree with not getting upset over silly matters but it is more complicated. Insults don't hurt when you don't care about the issue at hand.

    But insults are intended to hurt, to abuse, to slur to adversely affect a persons reputation, ideas, character and so on. And there are many situations where that does in fact matter.

    At how stupid and assuming they are.
