Honestly, probably G or H, even though neither really bother me. I don't find insults to be anything unless they become threatening. The only reason G might come into consideration is the sheer stupidity some people can bring up in religious conversations and not consider that there's a possibility that the other side could be right. (When I'm in a religious discussion, I always base it on the thought "either of us could be wrong, or both".) I never (I say never, but I try to never) be offended when someone suggests a possibility of something to me.

I'd go with C.
And all of the above have happened to me. I'd be least offended by someone pointing out that I may be wrong. There's a good chance I really may be, and if I am, I'd certainly like to know about it. As for people disagreeing with me, it happens every day. No big deal.

F
At least that's the one I'd take most personally. After that would be H. I love my mom.
But I'm willing to admit I may be wrong, or may need help, and people disagree with me all the time. There's lots of people who disagree with my religion. And as far as insulting me goes? Pffft, I refuse to let someone who doesn't care about me to disturb my inner calm.

I would be very offended about an insult to my mother.
I have alot of self confidence, so the pointing out that I am wrong does not bother me, regardless of the topic. I will consider it if it is respectful. I have had many things stolen, but they are just things.

b) someone insults you personally. Maybe, most of the time I laugh because the person does such a poor job of it.
h) someone insults your mother. Do this in person, you *will* get punched.

C. Someone steals from me... the others don't hurt me in any way, shape or form. Piss me off maybe... but hurt me, no. Stealing from me would hurt me and is just plain wrong. Words... eh, who cares.

Steals from me. The rest are jus the other's opinion. Steal from me and it means you are morally crippled.

c) someone steals from you
The other options are only words and will only effect me as much as I let them.
