"offense is taken, not given"

They mean no harm, yet this has invoked such a strong response in me. I have a midterm tomorrow, but I can't concentrate.

It's funny because it's implied as a half-hearted joke. I think. I guess it's a funny phrase, standalone, but when it's part of my testimony? Part of my story of some of the worst times in my life?

Normally, I wipe it off me. That person doesn't know me well anyway, or I don't care about that person anyway. But when I entrust this person with a personal story of a time when I was most vulnerable?

Sigh, I'm taking offense. I can't just brush this one off.
