A thought on 'taking offense' and 'sensitivity'

[Edwardo Piet]

I like to hear the truth from people even if it's negative

Keep in mind that what you may consider negative could also be turned around into "Constructive Criticism". In which their negativity towards you, may actually be helpful in some aspects of life.

Indeed.

I would venture to say that most (Not all) negativity from someone else can lead to a form of constructive criticism. The bottom line of that would be; would it still be considered "Negative" if it turns out to be constructive and helpful......

But if it's not constructive and helpful...I still can't think of a reason to be offended. Either they have a good point in their 'insult' and I really do need to 'shape-up' or they're talking utter shite inn which case why would I be offended? And if I'm unsure...or it's somewhere in between the two...still why should I be offended? Simply because of my own confusion on the matter?

I will always be offensive and offended.
That is being human.

Let us Prey amongst ourselves.

To each his/her own I guess...
