It's happened to all of us; we've all been in a situation when someone says or does something that offends us. When we feel offended it will often ruin our entire day and sometimes it will ruin several days in a row.

These ruined days can be avoided, however, if we are willing to approach these kinds of situations a little differently. Here are 6 things you can do for yourself when you feel offended:

1) Don't take it personally. If someone has said or done something to offend you, do your best not to take it personally. Their words and actions are usually a reflection of what they are going through in their own lives and unfortunately they've projected it on to you. Many times when people project their own stress onto another person they aren't even aware they're doing it. I know it's not always easy but try your best not to make it about you.
