Why do people get so easily offended and why are they so quick to take things personal? It can be perplexing. When people hold grudges or let themselves get offended, it only hurts them. Holding onto things and letting them fester is only toxic for the person holding onto it. Some people feel if they hang onto it, that somehow this entitles them to some kind of pity or huge act of compensation. If you begin little by little to feel you are owed something, you will spend your life thinking that way and you will always be unsatisfied and constantly feeling empty.
If we all kept track of the tragedies and life's sour moments that have happened to us, we would all be waiting for someone to make up for our losses, waiting for pay back is going to be a long disappointing road. Thats just not realistic. We are responsible for our own happiness and if we experience something negative, we may not be directly to blame for it but allowing that situation to affect our moods or our disposition is ALL on us.
Don't let your surroundings or circumstances determine HOW you are, let them serve as an opportunity to show WHO you are.
