[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This does not sound like a work vs not work thing.

It sounds like you are a 'sad sack'. Are you? Are you sad? Are you struggling with your new life?

I think you are, because if you are not, the comment would not bother you.

My mother use to say, if somebody calls you a duck do you think "am i a duck" no... because you know you are not.

If somebody says "you're fat, or ugly, or stupid" and you get upset, it's because you think it about yourself. [/quote]

NP. If you genuinely think someone is sad, depressed, anxious, or anything like that, would you call them a “sad-sack”? Would that be helpful? I cannot imagine saying that to total stranger, let alone to someone I allegedly care about. What would be the purpose of that, other than to harm someone, namely someone you think is suffering in some way?

It’s indefensible. And no, you don’t have to be “too sensitive” or secretly agree with someone to be hurt if they insult you. Don’t be shocked that people are insulted by, wait for it, an insult![/quote]
