Shocked

I am not easily offended. If someone purposely insults me with only malicious intent, I feel embarrased if it was in public, and would probably put up a superficial "fight" or argument.

When it is not obviously malicious, I tend to think about what I had done to deserve this insult. It's probably a damaging trait to me, but it's true. I had super low self esteem at times.

I previously regaled you guys of a fellow student I nearly "thrashed," for spitting on my back pack. Why did I "nearly" thrash him (as opposed to ACTUALLY thrashing him)? Because I felt more humiliation than anger, and actually did feel a bit sorry for him. IMAGINE that! Yeah, I'm confused as well, maybe someone can explain that one too me... Anyway, that's an example of a "fight" on my part, one that was only carried out to prove I'm not some little pussy to be picked on...

NOW, things have totally changed for me. People insult me, and it feels as if the arrowheads have been replaced with marshmellows. Thank you very much, do you have another marshmellow for me? Lol. They do not hurt me, because I know who I am and why I am the way I am. I also understand that they do not fully understand my intentions many times, and base an insult on partial information. To add to that, I do understand that sometimes I make mistakes. It IS possible! LOL.

-This is all for the real world. My parents were a different story. I hated them with a passion, and knew every insult they had on me was undeserved. I blamed them for my personality problems, so I had no problems fighting back in that regard, and took a comment from them as insultive most of the time. I felt actually superior to them at times (tho definately not now), and I suspect this is the reason I fought so much in adolescence. Feeling superior, and wondering why I was being told I was inferior. It sucked, but I've not been dealt the crappiest hand.

Whatta ya know-I hate this too! My brother did this all the time to get out of school, so did many of my friends. I NEVER did this, the one time I tried was utter failure. I don't get sick much, and usually work through minor stuff, so maybe I'm biased there.

Yes, it's easy to offend me because I never recognize if one is insulting me or if he's simply in a good mood - I simply take jokes in a very literal, personal way and I think about taking revenge.

I have a problem with telling insult from joke as well, and sometimes wonder what to do. But react? How? This usually takes so much time to figure out that any reaction would seem out of place, and I end up doing nothing, no laugh, no rebuke. This is probably why people think I'm a strange silent guy. I take things personal too, I think everything has a reason behind it, and try to get to the source of the insult/joke. When thinking about a "joke" or "insult," whichever it may be, I replay it in my head, sometimes the events leading up to that, trying to find out what made that person say what they did, and figuring out how to determine the point of the "joke/insult," whether it's malicious, or in jest.

Everything depends on how close I'm to that insulting-me-or-maybe-only-joking-how-to-recognize-it Evil or Very Mad person. If it's a person from my family, for example cousin Andrzej - a family prankster, I simply get a sour face and tell him straight his joke was stupid because I know my kinsmen are used to me and my sincerity isn't going to cause a family scandal like from a soap opera Twisted Evil

When it's a person I know quite well but who's strange to me in the same time (not a family member), I usually answer back something virulent - just in case Twisted Evil They will learn this way they don't have to do with a silent lamb who even can't snap back.

I'm just curious: are you easily offended by when people make jokes about you? I personally can get easily offended when someone is teasing me- even THOUGH I heard that they tease you ONLY if they like you.


How dare you suggest I'm easily offended ! Wink

I think I've become less easily offended the more I've learned about Asperger's and my own
reaction patterns.
