Why are people offended by insults?
#14
RE: Why are people offended by insults?
I have certainly heard that to be the case.

On some occasions it can be the other way around though. For example. You can more easily tell when someone you love and/or a good friend is only joking and they don't really mean their insult. However with a stranger or a less well known person, it might be harder to tell so you might be more likely to take it personally.

That's from what I've observed in others.

Sometimes I feel I WANT to be offended by at least SOMETHING to feel more human.
