Ditto May, I am trying very hard too......but sometimes the little trolls push my buttons. Not to mention names, but they must be a cartoon character because trolls look funny.....anybody got a picture of a troll, under the bridge?

So it would depend on who it was, what was said, and whether I asked for it or not.
Exactly how I feel.

I would hate to end 2019, with hate in my heart....

I respect a lot of people on this forum, who have been here a while and always seem to "show up" when I am having a bad day. They help me through it, always...

I guess it takes a long time to develop thick skin....I don't think I can do it.....

Thanks for your replies everyone......

Happy, Healthy, Thick Skinned New Year everyone....

Having been a Trade Union Shop Steward and Branch Secretary for some years, there isn't an unpleasant name I haven't been called at least once (some many times). Nowadays its like water off a duck's back to me - I can give it back too.

Funny but Muddy, I always took you as a very strong thick skinned person who could put me in my place very quickly. I admire you Muddy..

Re: Are you thick skinned?

I don't get upset easily, if someone says something about me, it normally goes over my head, it would have to be something really bad for me to get hurt.

I beg to disagree with you there Blue....you only "think" someone doesnt like you ,what evidence do you have for anything else? A post? a comment? as you yourself have said you "rant and rave" but dont mean half of what you say....well how are we supposed to know that ......and yes I do believe youre ranting and raving because of my comments earlier.....and I dont "not like" you at all....but please dont try and manipulate posts,its very petty!!!
