In what way is it your fault if someone offends you, insults you, etc.

[@adhdsolution2030]

Did you choose to interpret what they said in a hurtful way? If so, that's on you. Did you choose to take it personally? If so, that's on you. For example, if I said to you "wow I hate that you have 3 eyes, that's so gross", this wouldn't affect you. You would know that it's nonsense, and you would just laugh at it and let it go. It wouldn't touch you. BUT, if I said to you something which you are sensitive about, for example - and I don't know you, but this is a common one - I made a comment about your weight, perhaps you might hear that and feel hurt. But if so, that's your fault. That means you interpreted the thing in a way that made SOMEONE ELSES WORDS a thing which HURT YOU. If you heard every word of insult or offense, for the rest of your life, as if someone was saying "lk;ajdfopijaqwef;lkajsdfiuhqwefl;kansdfiouyauwefoijasfd" (as in, utter nonsense), then you wouldn't be affected by it ever again. I'm not saying this is simple. Especially if this is new for you. But I AM saying that it's possible and ABSOLUTELY something that is WITHIN YOUR CONTROL.

@@adhdsolution2030 That was powerfully said. But if you are sensitive about what others will think who witnessed the event and they would bully you afterwards?
