easily offended · very sensitive to criticism
You know those friends who can't take a joke, or get upset easily when someone critiques their work? This expression is perfect for them! It describes someone who is very sensitive and easily offended by criticism or negative comments. 🎭 Don't worry, it's not always a bad thing, but it can make interactions tricky! 😅
When would you say someone 'has thin skin'? A. A person who always laughs at jokes, even if they're about them. B. A person who gets visibly upset after receiving constructive criticism on their project. C. A person who calmly accepts challenges and setbacks without complaint.
💡 **Remember!** Having "thin skin" means you are sensitive, while "thick skin" (the opposite!) means you're not easily bothered by criticism. It's often used to explain someone's reaction rather than as a direct insult. Use it carefully! 😉
