    I believe I am over sensitive and that leads me to stinkin thinkin as I call it. So if in dout, I check it out. I ask the person ( in most cases ) hey I felt offended when you said this or that and in most cases, I miss understood or they had no intent and usally appologies.

    I do know how you feel...but sometimes it's like people just don't think what their actions do to other people.

    I feel as tho I offend many people without realizing it, many people take things very personally, they are very heartfelt, people like myself say things to people, and were really just talking to ourselves, even if were looking you in the eyes, were probably just projecting our twisted inner humor towards you, not at you.

    I understand that but I also know what most people would think as well in certain situations. Thank you though for sharing your perspective.

    Happens all the time. If its bad enough, I tell them what they did, how I feel about it, and why I think they were wrong.

    I think that is so common. And it's a good reminder to never assume things. Never pre-judge what you THINK someone meant or didn't mean. People are offended and it triggers some inner hurt and they lash out, often in a way that can't be retracted or taken back. If you are confused you should simply ask the other person to clarify it for you, before reacting regretfully.

    You're right. It's just that sometimes it really takes me back a bit and makes me think, "Wow, I never thought you would say and or do this or that.
