I do get offended usually, and sometimes I don’t forgive the offender. I was not like that in the past, but I feel I have changed a lot in last 3 or 4 years or so. And my friends have also observed this change in me.

I do and I think I have always been. Even if I can do some derision about myself, it easily go too far for me.
It was reported in our paper last week that a beloved football star was accused of calling another footballer gay but he put the record straight by stating emphatically he wasn't homophobic and didn't call the guy gay at all. He called him a fat fukc. We all breathed a sigh of relief then - who could be offended about that??? lol

not in general but when it's about my physical appearance. Like today I was told I'm fatter than the last time this person saw me,she didn't just say it she also used hand gestures to show me.

Why is that offensive?Originally Posted by Helga
Hahaha, what? Alright, if you seriously don't understand why people are offended when people call them fat, you should just follow this simple rule: don't go around calling people fat. It'll make people think you're either cruel or deeply socially inept. It'll probably really hurt their feelings too.
I'm curious though, do you call people fat in casual conversation?
Volya: Hey Amy, long time no see!
Amy: Yeah Volya, you're looking good!
Volya: Yeah thanks, you've got MUCH fatter since the last time I saw you! ... Well, still working at IHOP?

I submitted a pic to beautifulpeople.com just to see if I would get in. I did, but two women rated me unattractive. Never been so offended in my life.

Yes Volya you've a lot to learn. When a woman asks you 'what do you think of this top/skirt? etc, etc...insert item of clothing' You say 'it looks very nice, and, you look thin in it.' No matter what you think, even if 99% of the time you haven't got a clue and didn't even realise it was new, you just repeat the words above and you will be happier for it, always punting the words 'thin, thin, thin.' The secret to an easier life, part one.
I'm not sure what beautifulpeople.com is all about (though I can gather from the name etc...) but that sounds harsh for you ha, ha.

Actually the most offended I've ever been was when the best friend of this girl I was in love with in elementary and middle school came up to me and said with a tone thick with disdain "why do you look so poor?" My family actually was poor at the time and I was really self-conscious about it. Then the girl I was in love with came up to me a short time later and said with the same tone "you live in a trailer?"
I also fly into a rage whenever someone speaks ill of my older brother.

I get offended when people support under the table employment but complain about boat people taking our jobs.

Ouch. That reminds me of something I saw when I was little. The natives in my town tend to live on reserves, and even though most of them have heated houses and electricity (although many don't) they still like to sit out around a fire almost every night. Most of them don't have showers in their houses, there's a bathhouse style place that the community shares, so they don't have time to all pile in there and wash before school so they usually tend to smell strongly like campfire smoke. The white kids who don't know anything about how the natives live and have never been to the reserves are almost afriad to ask about why they all smell like that, but ONCE, oh, this one time...
There was this slicked-up muscular jerk named Maurice in my grade eight class, I've seen him get into physical fights because someone "disrespected" him, that kind of guy. One day, I don't know what the hell set him off, but he walked up to a shy little native named Connie and just went off on her: "Why do you indians always smell like ****? It's exactly like horse **** and smoke, don't you have baths? Why are indians always such poor, drunk, stinking losers?" And he went on, and on. I felt physical pain, this guy was huge and "popular," and little Connie was practically a mute. All she did was put her head down on her desk and stay like that for the rest of the day, none of us said a thing of course. That's one of those childhood memories I'll never forget.

you are joking right? this sounds really desperate bad in fact to judge someone from a picture is simply sad indeed.
who rate these people beautiful anyway?
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
nice people are not your kind of people do you mean?
how do you mean?
close to heart for me means friendship of a different level which is a rarity these days.
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
that is pretty bad that people view others as poor it goes to show their lack of grasp on reality and what people are about.
why would anyone speak ill of your older brother? I mean why would tell you it to you face? I would not dare do that to a sister or brother about their siblings. I guess it boils down to very bad manners.
