People usually get easily offended. Being offensive means to say or do something to someone else that hurts their feelings or causes emotional distress
And if you don’t know what offensive behavior is then here is a short list of things others do to offend people:
-Saying something rude or hurtful against their race, ethnicity or skin color
– Uttering something rude or hurtful against their sexual orientation
– Speaking something rude or hurtful against their religious or political beliefs
– Saying something rude or hurtful against their appearance
– Saying something rude or hurtful against their personality, interests or character
You can also be disrespectful by the way you act towards someone. If you push in front of someone who is standing in a queue. Or acting disrespectfully in any way shape or form towards anyone. And the list goes on and on and on.
Note that if you show any of the above behaviors you should try to adjust your own behavior and think before you speak.
People get easily offended because now, more than ever, we are more self-aware.
Rather than giving you a bunch of things you should get offended about. I would rather want to encourage you to stop being offended by things.
If you don’t know how, here is a short list of things you could actively do to help you stop feeling so offended.
Breathe
Relax! People who are tense get offended rather easily. If you are constantly on edge you will probably get offended much more easily than others who take things day by day.
Understand the Other Person’s Point of View
Stop living a life where you think that it’s only your opinion that matters.
Letting go of the ego will, in fact, help you to understand other people’s opinions a bit more. Try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes would make you see things differently. Even, if you had a different type of upbringing or background? Just try to understand. Understanding doesn’t mean that you are agreeing. You are just open-minded.
Be More Culturally Aware and Open-Minded
Accept people for their uniqueness. If everybody was exactly the same, how boring would our life on earth be. Learn about different cultures to help yourself be more understanding.
Don’t Take Things Too Personally
Again, relax. Not everything is a personal attack. It’s your choice if you want to get offended or not. You don’t have to take each comment or sentence as an offensive line.
