Most of the time im thick skinned but a lot of the time if I do get hurt I dont let it show. That way the other person doesn't get the upper hand. Showing your hurt is a sign of weakness that shall not be tolerated.
I try to act thick skinned. But I'm really not.:(
I tend to replace the hurt with anger so it doesn't hurt quite as much.
I like to think I'm pretty thick skinned, I don't really let the unimportant things get to me.
A lot of people thinks that im thick skinned... but what i actually am is almost etherical, unmaterial... so most things which would offend or upset another people simply pass through me... and they interpret it like a thick skin...
i have no idea, i havnt cut my self open to measure my skins thickness for quite some time, brb ill go check to see if its thick or just normal.
I tend to react because i feel i shouldnt let anyone get away with anything. Most of the time i feel sorry for them because the insults are just so petty and pathetic. Theres few things someone could say that'd actually hurt as such, but still, if they try and insult me i'll put them in their place. Partly the principal. I dont/cant just let it go.
Yes, but I've got an Achilles heel about some stuff. If you stumble upon it, you'll know. It basically depends upon whether the insult comes from someone I respect or not.
Its all in your head.
I could only wish to be thick-skinned. I am way too sensitive about way too many things; I admire and envy people who truly are able to take stuff in stride.
