Sensitivity is one thing people seem to take for granted, it is a topic most people do not consider relevant which is very wrong.
I think there should be more enlightenment on sensitivity and emotional intelligence, people need to be aware of this.
Talk is free or cheap, or whatever adjective people use to describe it but that doesn’t give you the right to open your mouth to say rubbish or say hurtful words to people, words that would make people second guess themselves or mess with their self-esteem.
Not everyone has the thick skin to take in as many hurtful words as you can, people are going through a lot, some people are dealing with low self-esteem, sickness, depression and some are even suicidal. The least you can do is talk right, don’t assume they are fine!
“I was only joking, I didn’t know that she took it personally” don’t ever use this phrase to justify your actions, let us all try to be sensitive, know when to joke, know when to be serious, and know when you hit a nerve and apologize right away.
Not everyone has a good sense of humor like you, people can be really touchy with certain words, so don’t just open your mouth to talk, try as much as possible to filter each and every word that you want to say, honestly it's no big deal.
Thread cautiously when sensitive topics are discussed, we may sometimes be caught up in our own world, talking and talking and we spew every freaking thing, there's no harm in apologizing when you realize you've hit a nerve.
A colleague of mine was showering praises on another colleague of ours, she was complimenting her on how much weight she had gained and how her figure looked good before we knew what was happening the lady started crying, my colleague was astonished, so was everyone within earshot. We all started
apologizing to this lady but to no avail, she was crying so hard that you’d think someone died.
Finally, we were able to save the situation and later I was told that the lady was crying because everybody kept on talking about how much weight she had put on and it was getting pretty offensive to hear and to explain to people every single time the topic was raised, and this led to her mental breakdown, shocking right?
The funny thing is that if my colleague had probably complimented another lady who is desperately trying all means to put on some weight the outcome would have been totally different. Different strokes for different folks, so choose your strokes carefully.
I am a very sensitive person and I totally get it when someone hits a nerve, to you it might mean nothing but to me, it means a lot, so whenever I see how nasty some people talk to other people it breaks my heart.
Also, let us learn how to correct people with love, and don’t be all judgmental when correcting them or try to embarrass them in the open, for starters you are not God, so why take His job from Him? Call them aside and correct them with all the love you can give and watch them appreciate you even more.
