To think people have become ‘delicate’?

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but a joke can’t just be a joke anymore. It’s an insult.

I have quite a few friends who can handle a joke, or a constructive criticism. When I grew up, you told it how it is. If they didn’t like it then so be it.

It seems nowadays you can’t really express your emotions, how you feel or how someone has made you feel.

It’s like you have to protect everyone else’s feelings but your own. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a giver and not a taker but my DH broke the camels back today.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this too?

That's a comment im general, i gave a relative who thinks his jokes are funny and people are too sensitive. Or that his honest opinion isn't poor. However he doesn't like it when he's subject to similar 'jokes' or honest opinion.

Vice versa my cousin is too social media invested and every twitter rant gets her going..its exhausting and amusing.

"Rejecting Christianity the UK ha a stopped balancing love for self with love for others. They either love self too much or others too much and not self enough. They are happy to tell lies.

The western void - people need things to believe in - people don't follow the objective moral code of a supernatural power - they invent all kinds of belief systems - various people follow various belief systems and get cross and offended that others aren't following their beliefs - this encourages narcissism"

So people who don't believe in god (and I'm guessing your particular god) are selfish and narcissistic. FFS do people still believe things like that?

You're offended by people being offended?

Don't be a dick and you won't upset anyone.
