Sana Muñequita Linda 2,566 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Apart from the standard definitions, what is the meaning of "taking things personally" for you? You can take examples from real life, this forum, your acquaintances... Are you people who take things personally or are you more laidback? Share your thoughts.

Channeler 245 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 As much as I'd like to consider myself patient, and kind, and loving, and understanding (LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) I'm going to be very honest with myself and admit that yes, there are times that I do take things personally as in I do bear grudges but not to the extent that I'd maliciously wish to inflict harm on the other person. What happened earlier this morning at the current hospital where I'm having my on-the-job-training is a nice example. There was no towel in the bathroom so I had to wipe each of the electric pads with tissue then I had to go and get the wedge for a staff member because she needed it for one of her patients so it did take me quite some time before I could put the pads on the old guy patient. The old guy patient being put under my care was talking to his daughter and saying that I didn't know what I was doing and that I was slow BUT he did it in a different dialect and they were laughing. He's actually from another part of the country but he had no freakin idea that I used to live in that area for a year back in high school so yes, I completely understood what they were saying. That actually irritated me because it was almost like they were insulting me right in my face. So when I had to walk with him I sounded very stern and a bit mean while telling him to lift his foot higher but it wasn't like I was telling him each time he made a step. He suddenly ranted in his dialect to his daughter that I was stupid and how was he supposed to lift his leg when it was broken. So see, the way I treated him while we were walking proves that I was a bit affected and that I did take what he said a bit personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaku 91 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 For me, taking things personally is when someone claims that "it's nothing personal" when it obviously is. Or when someone does something, and I can't help but think it was my fault, or has something to do with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So see, the way I treated him while we were walking proves that I was a bit affected and that I did take what he said a bit personally. Because you have told us about your situation in an internship, do you think they have that general perception of all internship people? Besides, it was rude of him to switch to his dialect -unless they do not have any idea of your environment's language-, at least that's what I think. The situation you explain about is always embarrasing, but it was noble from you to analyze its details and what you learnt from that. By the way, where are you from? For me, taking things personally is when someone claims that "it's nothing personal" when it obviously is. Or when someone does something, and I can't help but think it was my fault, or has something to do with me. In the first phrase, you mean the people who say "I've said that, but it's true because you have reacted. Buuuuh"? Ah, yes, "can't help it's my fault". It's a kind of frustrating feeling. ljkfhgnhjf!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stab 4,072 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I take everything too personally, unfortunately. I'm offended and upset easily, even if it's a joke. One time I expressed an opinion and someone called me a hater. That comment got 10 likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity 209 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 *My own interpretations* taking a joke seriously, I think; andbeing offended by things people say, in which they are intended to hurt you.-------------------------------- I get offended easily when people say things with intent to hurt me, and sometimes I can't tell whether it's a joke or not.

snitchseeker 4,921 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I try not to take things personally, especially if someone directly says something to my face...I don't particular enjoy baring all my emotion out to anyone, even my friends so I try and seem more laidback. More often then not, after some time to myself, I'll get over it and just focus on whatever I'm doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
