offended

When someone says they've been offended, it usually means that their feelings were hurt or irritated by something another person said or did.

Being offended is often used to describe a situation where someone has said or done something that was insensitive or unacceptable. This can happen in many different situations, like when you're talking to a friend and they make a joke that offends your sense of humor, or when someone says something mean about you on social media. It's also possible to be offended by something that happens at work or school, if it makes you feel uncomfortable or disrespected.

Note: The verb "offend" can sometimes also be used in a more neutral way, like "The new policy will offend no one." In this case, the word means that the policy won't hurt anyone's feelings.
