2 main reasons people take offence.
1. When we express an opinion on a subject, even if we are only expressing it internally, most of us put our self worth and identity in with the opinion. We identify with our opinions and consider them to be part of who we are, we are right and thus so are our opinions!
So if anyone challenges our opinion then they are challenging our self worth and our identity. We feel like they are saying they are better than us because they are right and we are wrong. So we don't want them to be right, because that means we are less of a person than before and closer to death (emotionally and ego) as a result.
If you can remove your ego from what you say you can get rid of this one.
2. Because we have painful emotional wounds that we are attached to. Things from our past that we haven't dealt with are usually the cause of these. When someone says the right things it causes the emotional equivalent of sticking your finger in a physical wound.
It hurts! But instead of realising that the wounds are our own and cause by our own inability to deal with certain topics or issues, we blame the other person for hurting us.
Imagine for a moment you have a deep wound or sensitive bruise on your shoulder, and someone comes up adn gives you a hug, or pats your back, or just puts a hand on your shoulder. They don't mean to hurt to you. But they do. It hurts so much and we don't realise it's our injury hurting we think it's them touching us that is hurting us so we lash out at them.
If you can heal your emotional wounds so that are no longer sensitive, then you heal this one.
Though is undoubtably going to offend those people: If you are over sensitive, I am not sure you should call it an attribute. It means that you are
very suseptible to outside influences controlling your emotions. Either because your ego is very fragile, or because you have lots of emotional wounds. Neither is a healthy state to be in.
I can't see how giving control of your emotions, and therefore your life, to other people can be an attribute in any way.
Not only does it make you an easily manipulated person, but it also makes many people nto want to be with you because they have to stricly regulate their words and behavior to not offend you all the time.
