Offence

Taking offence is a choice, and, I think, a projection of unresolved fears.

I often find that other people take more offence to minor matters or misunderstandings than I do.

Is it because I care less or because they are more insecure?

Maybe I attract the offensive or readily offendable types because they know that I’ll put up with their shit.

And that is the first time that I have realised that being readily offendable is just as bad as being offensive.

Both require a lack of empathy.
