But when someone who is my friend does something that I think was out of line, I say something. Perhaps you did not understand that the part that upset me was the friend having kudosed something that was clearly meant to make fun of me. I don't care about the making fun, I care about my friendships here.
Please don't say I don't have thick skin.
You're getting bent out of shape because an internet friend offended you by giving someone kudos. That's the epitome of thin skinned.
I won't deny I am sensitive when it comes to people I've opened up to. Doesn't matter if it's online or off. But that's not because I have thin skin, it's because I put a lot of stock in relationships of any kind. If I was thin skinned I would have left this forum a long time ago.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
