You're absolutely right.  Just thinking back to the "everyone wins" mentality also messes people up when they get older.  They have trouble excepting losses, or putting fourth their all.  Put on top of that, blocking people they don't like, makes for some tissue-soft skin.  Anyone taking offense to this specific post I'm writing now, is the perfect example.  But, just go about your day, it's your first step to bettering yourself.


I don't think that anyone is taking offense to your post. You post does seem awfully closed-minded. Not everyone has a brain that works exactly like yours. Not everyone has emotions that work exactly like yours. Your suggestion is fine, but other people have other suggestions, and they are no less valid than your own.

Pretty much this, the whole "grow thicker skin" jargon doesn't apply to everyone and nor should it, if it were then Scotsmen would own everyone in the world who can't "man up" and log toss with a single arm because that's where grow thicker skin goes towards.

I also expected the blatant use of "I'm trying my best to offend you and that's fine but just ignore me which proves my point", which is to go along the very so thin line of baiting others and dodging any form of criticism and the thought of perfect logic (protip: it's not).

See the problem with the "grow thicker skin" camp is that they see their side as the logically perfect and undienbly right side that also happens to not look into any other side but their own and anyone who isn't on their side needs to grow a pair, that's probably the worst aspect of that camp and it still perpetuates to this day even though they are quite illogical while also not understanding how the human mind let alone the rest of humanity works, it's better for them to care about a very small few that think just like they do than to open their mind to others, which in turn is very close and simple minded if not ignorant at best.

Where does it stop? I find any word beging with letter T to be offensive (as a child letter person T fell on my head durring kindergarden and I've been messed up ever since) as a result I should not learn about how I should deal with it and all should accomodate ME by not using any words in your post beging with letter T. Where do you stop? All kinds of minds on our planet ...
