I'm writing this to the governmental medial boards - I'm urging the world's top officials, in the field of medicine, to make a call for new mental disorder - offensiveness. It is an unnoticed pandemic outside in the world. Let me build my argument...
Persons with offensiveness are those who are easily offended.
The mental state of such patients is influenced from outside, anyone or anything can push their buttons, unintentionally or intentionally. The patients might not even notice they have been offended. However, their disproportionation emotional reaction to the situation shows pathological sensitiveness to what they presume as criticism, abuse, or neglect.
Despite how much they may see themselves as having evolved over years, such patients possess an enormous ego based on nothing but self-grandiose imagination. They are much more fragile than they typically realize.
Their ego, being more vulnerable than they assumed, is causing them to experience another's behavior as hurtful, hostile, or threatening. The truth is - behind their self-grandiose view of self lies an insecure persona.
Given the multitude of insecurities they're subjected in the process of growing up, such patients have within them parts that, more than they would like to admit, remain particularly sensitive to not being treated as they were expected.
In a problematic situation the subjects are less aware of circumstances and they are totally wrapped in a pathological emotional state susceptible to overreaction.
The cause of offensiveness is an unreasonably strong, super-sized and inflated ego. It is an inadequate view of their worth.
Offensiveness starts with taking things too personally. It further develops into being upset with another's insensitivity. The patients are driven to take offense at whatever or whoever appears responsible for their immediate distress.
To be clear, intentionally hurtful behaviors are not discussed here. Anyone has every right to express feelings according to those situations. However, we have to set some boundaries, and, if necessary, distance ourselves from reacting.
If you're constantly impatient, irked, irritated, offended, or upset by others, that's a strong indication that you might be affected by offensiveness, a clear mental disorder.
If so, please consider changing your mindset rather than demanding other people change or even apologize, for that matter.
