I say w/e to myself and move on, I know the whole world doesn't revolve around me, and not everyone cares everytime I feel uncomfortable, It's not something big, deal with it

An excellent question to ponder before it happens. We all react on a stimulus and respond as we see life. Offense has to do with the unexpected and the other group. Try to discover if you are a winner-player or an outcast-filler person. Stay in your group for friendship and honesty. If you knew what drives the other people to offend you you might feel better. At least you can know what to expect from them. Come to the chat rooms for depression in Yahoo and see if you fit there.

the animal instinct in every human first will react wild, but if the situation is alarming will try to take the back seat and will show off the wildness in a different time when chance provided or will explode on someone else ( this again is unintentional offending, letting out the hurt )

Maybe, the key is not to be offended if it is the truth.
Maybe you should 'act' opposed to 'react' and try to create something 'positive' out of those 'negative' feelings.
Every 'reaction' from an emotion is very powerful, one must make sure that the 'reaction' is a 'conscious action' and not feel 'regret' afterwards.

Well, I believe it is always best to clarify the offense to find out if I just took it the wrong way giving them the benefit of the doubt. If it was intentional I usually review it as constructive or destructive. I then act accordingly. Just never lose sleep over it as people make mistakes.

Some believe that there isn't really anything "unintentional" - therefore you might be right to react negatively. Perhaps they indeed did mean to offend you!

like when your mother sells you to 'great' people for a
stash of morphine, unintentionally, so she can have a good time,
and not have to deal with the responsiblity. and they screw
up your whole life, and they blame all the foul-ups on you?
no big deal, fish die every day. hooked, and cooked.

that happened to me once. A friend said a word I find offencive. The first time it caught me off guard and I let it go. The second time she said it, I corrected her word. when she said it again I told her that it was offencive to me. I was nice about it but I got my point across. she apologized and all is well with us now.

Kindly tell the person how you feel. Do it when you have calmed down some; so you won't say it in a tone that is inappropriate.
