One last post on this: yes, we need to respect others' sense of offense. But one is entirely permitted to exercise one's judgment on what manifests excessive sensitivity on a given issue. I make no judgment at all about the OP's character; perhaps and hopefully he is a far better human being than I. But I do observe and make lawful judgment about an excessive niceness in matters and circumstances that, left alone, will be no worse off than they are.
One absolutely needs first the capacity to laugh at oneself -- first to see one's own faults. If one really sees one's own faults, one is less bothered by things outside -- and I daresay one makes more positive difference to these outside things than otherwise, on the Daoist principle (no matter how remotely applied the principle to no matter how contingent a situation) of "non-acting action". No more goddamn sermons from me on this.
