Or do you let things just roll of you?

Easily offended? No way. If a person is making fun of you, and you get offended, you are just playing into their hands. They want to stir up a reaction from you. When you act like it doesn't matter, they lose interest and leave you alone. When I was in middle school, kids teased me all the time. But I didn't care. And I acted like I didn't, and they left me alone. When nothing bothers you, it builds up your self-confidence.

No to both. I'm not easily offended, but when I am I find it hard to just let it go.
I realise that there are stupid people in the world doing stupid things so generally take no offence, I realise that they are just not thinking. But when the people I care about, who say they care about me, do the same, I take offence.
Why? Because I'm supposed to be on their personal radar, not out of their thoughts for so long that they take actions where they know I would be hurt. I do the same for them. I think what do they need/want/like? Then act accordingly.
To be badly treated by strangers is bareable, by those you love, painful.

If I can tell the type of voice they're offending me in .
If it's a joking voice I let it go
If they're trying to start something I let it go most of the time
But on those days when I just feel so pissed off I lash back at the other person
No need to start something that's never going to end

Depends on what the circumstance is and who the person is who was trying to offend me.
I mean, If my friends were offending me and I knew that they were just joking , then I could care less what they say, but if anyone else serious offends me then I don't know what I do.(I think I would get my older sister to pumble them).
people tend to try to offend me and tease me cause I am smart and they are just jealous , so they bug me about it.
My friend even admitted to me that I was nice and smart, so it made it easier for her to offend me and be rude and mean, cause she knew that I would be mean back.
I can get it really bad sometimes.
but most of the time I just let it roll and then talk to my mom about it.

It depends on what a person says or does. If someone slapped me in the face for no reason, I would'nt be offended just hurt. But if someone said I deserve to be slapped in the face because I'm a good for nothing, no good dirty rat, well then I'd be offended.

Not usually I generally let things roll.

Usually I let it roll off after first considering if anything applies and I can improve myself in terms of comments, feedback, that sort of thing. In general I pretty much don't take things personally though.

No I tend to take things very personally and I get offended easily.

I let most stuff roll of me like water off the inside of a bucket.

I let things just roll of me. I'm not sure what that means though.
