exploration of inner self by questioning beliefs and assumptions

offensive·ness



It is just matter of time, at some point you will conclude that there is nothing great about the world you live in. Whether this is inspired by a death of close relative or friend, loss of job, divorce, the "awe-inspiring" boredom, or a breakup of relationship, at that moment you will start wondering what is your life all about.

You've been told since childhood that being a grown-up is awesome. And maybe now that you're an adult, you're still waiting for the awesome part. You are still running around chasing a successful career, catching the opportunity to become boss, manager, senior analyst while sleeping four or five hours a day... Good luck to you.

A new mental disorder - offensiveness

I'm urging the world's governmental medical boards to make a call for a new mental disorder - offensiveness. It is a noticed pandemic in the world. 

The offensiveness is a mental state of those who are easily offended. 

The mind of such patients is influenced from the outside circumstances. 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. Their emotions are fragile more than they typically realize. 

Their ego, being more vulnerable than they assume, 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.

Are you the one of those patients?

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. 

You spend your days, without time to relax always watching the clock, wishing the morning away so you could go to lunch, wishing the afternoon away so you could go home. Never happy, always busy and tired and preparing for the next thing. Weekends are actually worse because that's when everything that didn't get done during the week had to be done. Cleaning, shopping, kid's stuff.

Life suffering is necessary, you suffer until you realize that suffering is not necessary. 

All your beliefs, concepts, all thoughts, they are false, just imagination. And not only your beliefs but also your education and religion, spiritual understanding, life philosophy, your ideas and opinions. Everything is a bull. What about meaning of your life? Your existence is utterly, perfectly, gloriously meaningless. Truth is infinitely simple, your beliefs are infinitely complex.

Are you not being treated per your expectation?

Given the multitude of insecurities subjected in the childhood, the patients of offensiveness have within them parts that remain particularly sensitive to not being treated as they were expected. 

You are driven by greed for material objects and fear of being hungry, your religion sucks, your philosophy is dead. I'm not saying you need a new religion. You do not need a new Christ. You need a new experience of what it is to be "you". Your common sensation of self is a hoax. You are dreaming, you are hypnotized.

You will notice that you just talk and talk because it gives you pleasure, or fills your time. Your lying and expressing of negativity are in fact your main characteristics, the walls of your prison. You must see it for yourself in order to do anything about it.

The subjects of offensiveness are not aware of circumstances, they are totally wrapped in a pathological emotional state susceptible to overreaction.

An unreasonably strong, super-sized, inflated ego

The cause of offensiveness is an inadequate view of your own worth.

Offensiveness starts with taking things too personally. It further develops into being upset with another's insensitivity. The patients are driven to take blame at whatever or whoever appears responsible for their immediate distress.

To be clear, I am not talking about intentionally hurtful behavior. 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. 

Please consider changing your mindset rather than demanding other people change or even apologize. You are feeling offended, so what?
