Now I know it's not just my imagination, your approach is abrasive!
Tone is down a bit. By "You" do you mean me, personally? I don't get offended easilly at all.
How about trying to get to know me before thinking you know me!
What I described is being hurt/offended, when people lash out at me.
I don't like arguing semantics. Perhaps you would have preferred another word - perhaps another word would have been best. Okay.
It's nicer (and more productive) to just ask if you got my meaning, which you didn't - get my meaning that is.
I can feel other peoples emotions but I do not offend easily. I was just trying to relate to the person who started the thread by giving my own perspective.
Namaste.
