Maybe, but not instantly. You can always decide to not let things offend you after the fact, but taking offense as a gut reaction is not always avoidable. Just pointing that out.

Reacting to it badly does not mean being offended by it. It's an instinct to react badly, but the actual act of taking offense to something isn't instant, you only do it once your brain actually processes what was said/done
