  Words hurt exactly as much as you care what whoever said them thinks of you. This leaves u with 2 cases.

  Case 1: your friend whoes opinion u value is saying something hurtful, ask em to stop if they dont u dont have to be there friend or value their opinion.

  Case 2: its some rando whoes opinion you dont value. The only reason u would care what they think is if your insecure.

  So what is it? Words dont hurt? Your friends arnt actually ur friends? Or are u simply insecure?

    You’re forgetting about words that come from society itself. Those are a hell of a lot harder to disregard than ones made by an individual.

      Society is made up of individuals. What difference does the number of people make 0 fucks times any things is still 0 fucks.

        Society used to say that slavery was great. It made a huge difference to the slaves and those who profited from slavery.

    You should work on your spelling and grammar before acting like an authority.

      Never claimed to be an authority. And being a grammar Nazi isnt an argument based in logic, its sidestepping any substance for the sole purpise of being a right old cunt.

        It is not “being a grammar nazi” to point out your complete lack of ability regarding the English language. That is what is commonly known as an “observation”. If you want to be observed differently change what is observable.

        As an example, you observe me as “a right old cunt” and I am doing nothing to change that observation. In fact, it was my intent from go to be observed that way by you.

        Thank the gods you rolled higher in perception than you did in intelligence or you may not have caught on so quickly.

  Probably why I’ve hardened myself to the point where I’m basically emotionless. Society does not ever play nice.
