Default Do You Have a Thick Skin? (Poll)

.. And are you able to keep your perspective when having an argument or debate with someone?

I think this is a pretty straight forward question?

If you answered yes, what would be your advice to others struggling with this issue and how did you resolve it?

What is a give-away to you that someone else does not have a thick skin?

For me, the biggest give-away is when a person tries to redirect the conversation away from themselves and their behavior. This may even be this case without them being the topic of conversation...

I try to leave conversations or put people in ignore in this category because it usually leads to a toxic exchange super quickly. I think a lot of people who are in debates online, they are attracted to people with the same thin skins... because those folk are very easy to distract and it makes them less of a threat when it comes to personal attacks.

I don't think it is necessarily healthy for two people to sit there and pick at each other's scabs. Nothing intellectually is gained from these conversations for the people in it or the observers, (outside of a lesson in human psychology), as the people are often too distracted by heated words and can't stay on topic...
