Why Are People So Easily Offended?

People losing their shit over jokes about the lunacy of this week need to ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฌ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐ท๐ฆ๐ด. โฃ

Taking everything literal, personally, and being a fucking emotional wreckโis a repellent for most people. Humor and what people find amusing says a lot about their life outlook, attitude, and unique life perspectives. It also will show you their weak spots in their psyche. โฃ
โฃ
๐ข๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ? You have an inferiority complex and think the world needs to operate around your comfort. Narcissism defined.โฃ

People that get upset and take things personally are most definitely not individuals I want as friends. Itโs not conducive to my happiness and Iโm not wired up to seek approval at the cost of my personal integrity. โฃ
โฃ
They can go find someone else to vet their unhealthy psychological patterns. Iโm not that person and never will be. โฃ

I donโt sugar coat my words to spare feelsโ I never have been one of those. The weak ideological zealots fall to the wayside with this tactic alone. They are averse to hearing any feedback that doesnโt confirm their biases.
I'll leave you with one of my favorites from Don Miguel Ruiz's classic:โฃ

Whatever happens around you, donโt take it personallyโฆ โฃ
โฃ
Nothing other people do is because of you. โฃ
โฃ
It is because of themselves. โฃ
โฃ
All people live in their own dream, in their own mindโthey are in a completely different world from the one we live in. โฃ
โฃ
When we take something personally, we make the assumption that they know what is in our world, and we try to impose our world on their world.โฃ
โฃ
Even when a situation seems so personal, even if others insult you directly, it has nothing to do with you. โฃ
โฃ
What they say, what they do, and the opinions they give are according to the agreements they have in their own mindsโฆโฃ
โฃ
Taking things personally makes you easy prey for these predators, the black magicians. โฃ
โฃ
They can hook you easily with one little opinion and feed you whatever poison they want, and because you take it personally, you eat it upโฆ.โฃ
โฃ
But if you do not take it personally, you are immune in the middle of hell. Immunity in the middle of hell is the gift of this agreement.โฃ
