Examples of offended in a Sentence

1. Feizar Nava:

   It’s because he offended the Pachamama, he didn’t want to participate in the ceremony.

2. Jeff Jacoby:

   The First Amendment says nothing about a right not to be offended. The risk of finding someone else's speech offensive is the price each of us pays for our own free speech. Free people don't run to court, or to the principal, when they encounter a message they don't like. They answer it with one of their own.

3. Robert C. Morlino:

   People today have been taught to be offended, people live to be offended. That’s why they need a ‘safe space’ and a ‘cry closet,’ and what they mean by that seems to be a space where they can be safe from hearing the voice of reason and truth, if you speak the truth, you might not be safe.

4. Hemant Mehta:

   I just take it at face value. They mean, 'I wish you well,' so I'm not offended. I'll say 'You too' or 'Happy holidays.'.

5. Michael Weatherly.Before:

   During the course of taping our show, I made some jokes mocking some lines in the script. When Eliza Dushku told me that she wasn't comfortable with my language and attempt at humor, I was mortified to have offended her and immediately apologized, after reflecting on this further, I better understand that what I said was both not funny and not appropriate and I am sorry and regret the pain this caused Eliza Dushku.
