I am pretty touchy about my pregnancy, especially when people are criticizing or questioning my choices or make remarks about my weight. </p> <p>Jokes and humor... Eh, I'm not so easily offended. Same goes for other subjects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-609799 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:40:25 +0000 amreis 609799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to be, but certain things push my buttons. For example, I have a parapro in my classroom who constantly tells me how I should interact with my students. I know she's trying to help, but I just want to try things my way since it's my first year teaching. I need to learn these things on my own haha.</p> <p>Other than that I think I'm pretty laid back... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-609798 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:40:08 +0000 Pepper 609798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. I'm very hard to offend, unless it's an obvious malicious attempt to be rude to me. When it comes to jokes and humor, I'm pretty easy going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-609789 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:35:16 +0000 tequiero21 609789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the situation. I'd say I tilt more to the easily offended side than not, but I try to make a concerted effort not to be.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-609785 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:34:03 +0000 MarieJ 609785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I am. It usually takes a lot to piss me off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-609780 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:27:58 +0000 pastemoo 609780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. I am very sensitive and take things personally way too often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-609730 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 18:57:23 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 609730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Im pretty laid back. Not a lot of stuff bothers me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-609727 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 18:55:19 +0000 anonysquire 609727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not even with my family. I have family members joke about my weight or other things and it doesn't bug me at all. I never let my self get offended. In my opinion it's only your own fault if you let yourself be offended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-609586 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 16:40:59 +0000 MrsTiz 609586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No not at all. Some things I am more sensitive to, but it takes alot </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-609584 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 16:38:54 +0000 MrsH 609584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm pretty hard to offend but some things certainly do get my dander up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607936 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 11:22:17 +0000 illumina 607936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. It surprises me how offended I get about somethings and not at others. In general I think I'm less offended as I get older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607924 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 11:18:13 +0000 BoogieBea 607924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the most part, no. I just make a mental note not to keep in touch with someone as much if they often say things that are offensive. Family is another story, but I've learned to brush most things off with them as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607906 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 11:06:19 +0000 .twist. 607906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: haha they must put all the overly polite people in touristy areas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607900 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 11:03:26 +0000 Grace 607900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Lol - and as Canadians we're supposed to be super polite! Oh, what a fail... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607896 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 11:01:56 +0000 .twist. 607896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: hahaha. We are both from Canada so it's possible!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607889 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:59:49 +0000 Grace 607889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Are you sure we aren't the same person? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607886 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:58:27 +0000 .twist. 607886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: Yep! Me too! I like to believe that I'm polite and well mannered. I also think that I am pretty good with most types of etiquette, however I can be extremely sarcastic and I don't really tolerate "hurt" feelings over things that are irrational. </p> <p>I mean, I believe that all feelings are valid, but if it's over something irrational I feel like it's the persons responsibility to recognize that and not get angry with the offender. If that makes sense... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607881 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:55:49 +0000 Grace 607881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Aahhhhhhh!!!!! Me too!!! I have been accused of being tactless many a time and I don't mean to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607873 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:53:12 +0000 travelgirl1 607873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am when it comes to A. I got offended if our families don't ask after her when she has hospital appointments, or when they keep saying stuff on Skype like "oooh you're hungry, putting that fist in your mouth". It feels like a slight on my parenting (she's never hungry, I feed her before we Skype) but I know it's not meant that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607854 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:47:24 +0000 Bookish 607854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, it's one my big faults. I've gotten a thicker skin as I've gotten older, but I definitely still take things too personally or get offended. Working on it though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607852 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:47:16 +0000 photojane 607852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally, no. There are a few topics that are hot points for me, but luckily its usually just a crass comic on TV pushing those buttons, and I can turn the channel. I'm not really surrounded by people in real life that would offend me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607830 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:36:06 +0000 Happygal 607830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so, but I do think my feelings get hurt more easily than average person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607817 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:29:48 +0000 betsyboop 607817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. I'm probably more the offender because I'm sarcastic and sometimes forget that some people take things literally. Need to work on that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607815 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:29:33 +0000 Anagram 607815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so. Either that, or I've been lucky enough to have polite people around me my whole life (and that could very well be the case) so I don't have a lot of reasons to be offended.</p> <p>I didn't have any wedding-related drama, and it's early days yet (I'm only 5 months), but I haven't gotten any rude comments in pregnancy either. Some curious questions, but none that I consider rude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607807 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:27:42 +0000 eeh 607807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try really hard to make an effort to not be easily offended but it doesn't always work. I get really offended when someone expects me to tolerate their views but has no interest in tolerating mine. I need to work on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607770 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:20:02 +0000 mediagirl 607770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I do. I read into things way too much. II also think that things people say online can come off a lot differently than if they were saying them to the person in person. &lt;3 @Mrs. Pen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607751 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:13:10 +0000 .twist. 607751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. Which I think sets me up to offend when I don't mean to. I don't think I've said anything wrong and other people do. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-offended-easily#post-607719 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 09:57:38 +0000 Mrs. Pen 607719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually don't allow myself to be, but if its someone I'm really close to like my family or close friends then I am because I'm more vulnerable with them.</p> <p>But I try not to be offended too easily. Especially with my faith- it'd be too easily to get offended haha!</p> <p>I have seen its easier to take offense if people question your parenting choices... Being a parent makes things so personal!!</p> <p>How about you? </p>
