Are you easily offended?
Do you easily offend people?

I am not one who gets easily offended. It usually takes a lot. I don't think I offend people much either. Unless I am outright trying to.

1. im not easily offended, had to have a thick skin growing up
i think i offend people a lot more though, just because i come from a totally alien culture and the cultural nuances are stark.

6. There are things that should offend everyone. Racism,
homophobes, etc. But in general is what I mean.

9. In general, no
Believe it or not, I have far more tact than the majority of my family.

8. I seem to piss people off wherever I go.
It's a communication issue, I think. People misunderstand my intent much of the time when I haven't stated things clearly enough.

12. I often forget that people aren't in my head and can't hear the things I didn't say but thought I
did. LOL

10. Unfortunately, yes, but I think I am getting better at the "water off a duck's back" thing as I get
older. Of course, with the bipolar it all depends on where my brain chemistry is at. You can throw me in the exact same situation at different phases of my chemistry and you will get completely different reactions ranging from suicidal ideation to rage to "meh. Whatever, dude." :shrug:

19. Evertime I ate at the CPK at Short-Pump I'd get sick
And, I NEVER get food poisoning. I gross out Haruka all the time by doing things like eating pizza's that's been out all night. But, that place ALWAYS got me sick.

21. I think I offend people more than I get offended.
Edited on Tue Jun-16-09 02:05 PM by rcrush
It takes a lot to offend me. I admit that I laugh at the really racist jokes that comedy central does on their celebrity roasts.


For example. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8474712
I really want to make a joke in that thread but I dont think it would go over well.

29. No and no.
I'm pretty laid back about a lot of things.

Though homophobic and racist comments are the exceptions.
