Don't get me wrong...I love my friends, but sometimes when they talk they don't filter! Yesterday at dinner, my friend S said that she was super wasteful because she had like 3 plates of half eaten food, and my friend G told her to look at it, think about the starving people in third world countries and laugh. Not okay! My two youngest siblings are from Haiti and lived in an orphanage for 2 years before we got them, and I have a cousin also from Haiti whose twin sister died from starvation so that's really close to home for me. I told G that it was totally inappropriate and he said he didn't care! So then I went on and was like you are not allowed to say anything like that in my presence ever! This morning, my roommate, T, was talking on the phone to one of her friends and said that their mutual friend E didn't call her last night because he's a b*****d! I was sitting right there, and T knows how I feel about that word...I'm adopted so that is something that I also feel strongly about. She also knows the story of the time that I was called one... These are the most recent happenings, but there have been others. It bothers me because I've talked to them about this sort of stuff before, and it doesn't really seem to have an impact on them. Sometimes I wonder why I stay friends with them...

Aw, that's rough. But the thing is, they aren't you. They don't have a strong emotionally connections to these problems that aren't happening in their life. You do. I think whenever they say things like this, you should call them out on their selfishness, but they probably just can't understand you mindset just like you can't understand theirs.

This is true...but they should filter when in front of me because I have called them out in the past!

why don't you just stop being so goddamn sensitive? I'm a bastard child yet you don't see me crying when someone brings up the term. people aren't aiming to offend you, you're just aiming to be offended. loosen up ffs.

I'm not overly sensitive. I feel strongly about things that are personal to me, and honestly, aren't actually acceptable in any situation anyway!

i can understand being really sensitive.. i really can. i'm a pretty sensitive person when it comes to certain things.. but you have to realize something:: the world isn't going to filter for you. you have a right to express your opinion, but so does everyone else...
if your friends offend you that much.. cut them loose.. get new friends. if they deliberately offended you.. then you don't need them in your life anyway..
i can understand your being upset about your friend laughing about world hunger.. and they should have stopped the conversation when you mentioned how close to home it was.. they're assholes for carrying on.. but the world is full of people like that. but your friend on the phone didn't mean anything by what she said.. that's a commonly used word and i know that it can be offensive.. but you have to find a way to deal with it.. because the world is a cold, hard, cruel place.. and if you walk around with your heart on your sleeve like that.. you're going to get hurt over and over and over..
i'm sorry if this sounds harsh.. but it's a truth i had to learn the hard way..
