People are too sensitive

To me it seems that people are too sensitive and react too seriously to what other people say these days. Most times I just ignore what someone said if it really bugs me. At new years last year some guy called me a fatass. Yes, it hurt more than most anything and sometimes I think I should have punched him square in the face but I didn't. I don't think he had a brain in his head and I'd rather be fat than a douchebag anyday so I don't think I'm worse off than him at the end of the day.
