Insults only work when they have a truth behind them that you dislike about yourself. There are words I do not care for, but it's because they mostly show the ignorance of the person saying it. The word themselves do not bother me.

I believe that words have power and your tongue has the power of life and death. Also I’m really sensitive so I really can’t take jokes about me.

Words matter and people have a responsibility not to resort to insults when conversing with each other. You can't simply pawn off that responsibility by ridiculing the target of the insult for being "triggered."

If a white person calls a black person an "n-word," knowing all the awful history behind that word, the black person has a right to be offended. And others have a right to ostracize you for doing so.

Some people take the concept of "being offended" too far, but this doesn't happen nearly as often as it's claimed by right-wingers.

I get what you're saying, and I agree.
Though, if you think about it, you wouldn't get offended if you just brush off the insult because you know that insults are meant to bait you into anger or sadness, and by taking the insult to heart you are taking that insult.
But that's only for tough people, not everyone has thick skin.
That's why we have to be careful with our words, as they're a powerful weapon.
