☠️1️⃣ YOU FEEL OFFENDED

☠️2️⃣ YOU FEEL YOU'RE RIGHT

☠️3️⃣ YOU FEEL YOU'RE LOSING CONTROL

💡🚨⚠️ 10 Things NOT TO DO ⚠️🚨 when feeling offended - ACCUSED, CRITICIZED, CHALLENGED, OR CORRECTED

🤖 1. Don’t Interrupt:

☠️ • Jumping in to defend yourself mid-criticism can make you seem uninterested in the other person’s feedback and disrespectful.

🕊️ • Instead: Listen fully before responding.

📖 Proverbs 18:13 (NLT) – “Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish.”

🤖 2. Don’t Immediately Dismiss the Criticism:

☠️ • Saying things like “That’s not true” or “You don’t know what you’re talking about” can invalidate the other person’s perspective and escalate tension.

🕊️ • Instead: Take a moment to reflect on their feedback before responding.

📖 James 1:19 (NLT) – “You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.”

🤖 3. Don’t Get Defensive:

☠️ • Reacting defensively—justifying your actions or blaming others—shuts down constructive dialogue.

🕊️ • Instead: Accept responsibility where necessary and focus on improvement.

📖 Proverbs 12:1 (NKJV) – “Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.”

🤖 4. Don’t Shift the Blame:

☠️ • Deflecting by blaming others or the situation avoids personal accountability and can damage relationships.

📖 Galatians 6:5 (NLT) – “For we are each responsible for our own conduct.”

🤖 5. Don’t Minimize Their Feedback:

☠️ • Dismissing their feedback with statements like, “It’s not a big deal” undermines their perspective.

🤖 8. Don’t Try to “Win” the Argument:

📖 Proverbs 13:10 (NKJV) – “By pride comes nothing but strife, but with the well-advised is wisdom.”

🤖 9. Don’t Assume Negative Intent:

☠️ • Assuming that the person is only trying to hurt or attack you makes it harder to engage with the feedback constructively.

🕊️ • Instead: Give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they want to help.

🤖 10. Don’t Withdraw or Shut Down:

💡SATAN’S STRONGHOLD 🐍 OF COARSE JOKING usually manifests as a result of these things:

☠️2️⃣ DESIRE FOR APPROVAL OR ATTENTION

☠️3️⃣ A HEART CONDITION OF BITTERNESS OR HURT

💡🤖🚨⚠️ 10 Things NOT TO DO ⚠️🚨 if coarse joking stems from INSENSITIVITY TO OTHERS:

Being insensitive can lead to humor that belittles or hurts others, often without realizing the impact. It’s important to foster kindness and understanding in our interactions.

🤖 1. Don’t Ignore the Impact of Your Words on Others

☠️ Coarse jokes can hurt or offend others, even if they seem harmless to you.

🕊️ Instead: Be sensitive to how your words affect those around you, and speak with kindness.

📖 Proverbs 12:18: “The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”

🤖 2. Don’t Make Light of Others’ Struggles

☠️ Joking about someone’s pain or challenges can deepen their hurt and create division.

🕊️ Instead: Show compassion and speak words of comfort and encouragement.

📖 Ephesians 4:29: “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.”

🤖 3. Don’t Assume That ‘It’s Just a Joke’ Excuses Harmful Words

☠️ Hiding hurtful comments behind humor only dismisses the pain they cause.

🕊️ Instead: Take responsibility for your words, ensuring they reflect love and respect.

📖 Matthew 12:36: “But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.”

🤖 4. Don’t Use Humor to Mask Insensitivity

🕊️ Instead: Speak life into situations and choose words that build others up, not tear them down.

📖 Proverbs 16:24: “Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.”

🤖 5. Don’t Use Humor as a Way to Judge or Mock Others

☠️ Coarse joking often veils judgment or criticism, leading to division rather than unity.

🕊️ Instead: Seek to encourage and uplift others, promoting unity and love.

📖 Ephesians 4:2-3: “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

🤖 6. Don’t Minimize the Importance of Respecting Others’ Feelings

🕊️ Instead: Listen to how others respond to your words, and be quick to apologize if necessary.

📖 Philippians 2:4: “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

🤖 7. Don’t Use Coarse Jokes as a Defense Mechanism

☠️ Sometimes, people use humor to avoid vulnerability or uncomfortable feelings.

🕊️ Instead: Be honest about your emotions, and choose healthy ways to express them.

📖 James 5:16: “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.”

🤖 8. Don’t Ignore the Need for Gentle Speech in Difficult Conversations

🕊️ Instead: Use gentle words to navigate difficult conversations with grace.

📖 Proverbs 15:1: “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
