What's your advice for people who get offended easily?

My very dear Lady, not a problem. You'd be surprised what kinds of questions get put here by mistakes. May I offer some tips?





A person who is easily offended is often bothered by other problems internally and is taking those out out on the world around them. They need to be told to stop it or to ';chill out'; when they are around their friends. Friends who enable this type of behavior aren't doing this person any good. (My cousin is like this and every now and then she needs to be reminded of how her tone and words hurt others)





Otherwise, you can look at comments in the following way:





1) Is the comment directed at me?


2) Is it affecting me?


3) Do I care that it is affecting me?


4) Am I willing at this moment to do anything about it?


5) I can walk away and not say anything.





I've found that 5 is usually the best course of action.





I hope this helps. Blessings.What's your advice for people who get offended easily?

I tell them to realize they are touchy people and they're going to need some thick skin to survive the things people will throw out there.
