Why should people care what people think of you. They dont define who I am, I do

Microaggressions also signal a potential threat. You doubt your security? Will you be treated equally? What is the mindset of people around me? Are they safe? Non violent ? Are they planning my demise because they see you as the " other "?

When someone tells you how they FEEL if you care about learning, you will listen. Establishing responsibility won’t help those who don’t want to change.

@@cathymcelroy1794 If you take the impact (the listener's subjective reaction) over the speaker's intention (good or bad or just normally speaking), the result is people who will be worried about speaking up because they could unwittingly cause offense. It is possible to say something "hey I find that term offensive," and hope a good intentioned speaker will apologize and change. If their intent is ill-willed, there is nothing you can do about it. People have told me "sorry didn't mean it that way," and others have said "you're the problem" when asked what their problem was. If you can't drop it right there and go on with your life, you'll never be able to move on to things that actually warrant your time, like your studies or your personal development.

@@lifadysi9418 Life is full of things that will offend. Full of these so called "micro aggressions." Life doesn't care about feelings. If they cant handle normal everyday life without feeling constantly "oppressed", something is wrong mentally. The majority of the population doesn't live their daily lives thinking of these things, and having "focus groups" and "ted talks" over "micro aggressions". If their life is that bad, they can end it. It would be a win-win situation at that point: They wouldn't feel oppressed constantly, and the rest of us wont constantly have to hear about their problems. Does that make sense?
