Are you thick skinned?

how well do you take burns or people laughing at you at your expense..can you take it?

 

I can take it as long as I know they actually like me - my friends and I spend most of our time sitting around making fun of each other. But if they actually mean it, I get my feelings hurt pretty easily.

 

No, I cant.
I cant stand it when people talk shit about me. Or when they yell at me.
It upsets me , annoys me or ,at extreme cases, makes me cry.
I also easily get pissed off. Then I start bitching at people.

 

And if someone says sth mean unintentionally, its okay...I can say back sth equally mean and laugh about it.
But if someone is intentionally being a jackass, I cant deal with that. Cause I am not like that and I dont know how to deal with that kinda people.

 

Yes, I have too thick of a skin I think. I've had the most horrible things said to me before and they actually ment it too.. I just don't pay attention because why would I care what other people say, it's not like they are the only people in the world...Plus, sometimes people come up with some things that you just can't help but laugh at because it's so funny, even if they ment it. Life is to crazy and weird as it is to worry about other people laughing and making fun of you, who cares, life goes on...

 

i can take a lot. i'm usually the butt of jokes haha. doesn't bother me.

the last thing that really got to me was my friends making fun of me for going to therapy. i drew the line there and told them i didn't like it. and they stopped. so its all good.

i can take a good ribbing....but just be prepared, i'll hand it right back.

 

I cry like a baby.

I'm so lame.

 

I can take a lot too , but there is a point where I snap of course.

 

The things people say to me affect me way more than I let on, but I get over it.

 

i almost beat the shit outta my friend for bringing up my therapy at this party...we were drinking, and we got to arguing about stupid shit. so he brought it up. i almost snapped, but then backed off when a girl told him to "stop being a faggot"

best comment ever haha
i then went outside for a few minutes to calm down...and then went back in and had a few shots with the friend i was arguing with

 

my family hurts my feelings alot. But whatev. They like cheap shots.

 

Hmm, you would resort to being physical for someone saying words to you? I find this aspect of humans very interesting. When someone says something pretty bad to someone and of course the person gets mad and then threatens to beat them up or does actually beat them up, how is that any better than the actual person saying the hurtful thing? I guess I just don't understand the concept of physical violence breaking out just because of a verbal statement.

And fitz I am talking about it in general, not your post..

 

i get ridiculed at school cuz i'm a hippy, lots of kids call me "cum dumpster", it make me sad kids don't understand my hippy culturehood of free love and call me unkind names

 

I like cheap shots too, but I like expensive shots even better. Patron, anyone?

Molly, that sucks. *virtual hug* High school is so fucking awful sometimes. It gets SO much better when you get to college.

 

depends on the time of the month, really.

 

well, we were drinking haha.

sometimes, i believe getting physical is necessary. words are real and they can carry a stiff consequence. is it right? probably not. do i resort to physical violence over words? very rarely. in that case i just wrote about, i had told him that it was a low blow the day before when we weren't drinking. he brought it up when we were drinking, so of course i got a bit amped up. but then a girl said something great and it disarmed us hahaha

 

KC!

I feel like I haven't seen you in ages. Hi!

 

I understand the physical violence part. Ive gone fucking beserk before. Never outside the home, its alot due to my mother.

 

most of the time when my friends or family say shit about me, i usually just laugh it off, or get them back even though it really does hurt a little bit.

they usually are just joking anyway, so i know they don't mean it

 

I have heard that 90% of jokes, really have a underlying truth..I have experimented with it for a long time and I think it is true.
