Let me not hurt anyone's feelings God

Actually there are two answers for this point: First one is to stop talking with people, try to listen to them, improve your patience. Try to use less words and good expressions. People cannot understand everyone thoroughly because they judge others on voice pitch and looks. And the second one is to maintain smile when you’re interacting with them. Be nice (if you can’t skip them). If you can tell them politely, if there actions are hurting you.

Firstly, how others feel and respond to us and our actions isn’t our responsibility. Unless of course, you a purposefully going out of your way to hurt someone. We can only be responsible for how we feel and the actions we take. If you know that your intentions are good, that’s okay. Oftentimes, many people have their own baggage and insecurities for certain things. That’s a matter of you taking a deeper look and asking if what you’ve said or done is right or wrong. People will always be hurt in life. For example, breaking up with a person in a relationship is going to cause pain. It’s part of life. It doesn’t make a person bad.

The other side to this where I think you can have an impact is to really develop your awareness of how and why you’re hurting people’s feelings. Consider the words you use, the way you communicate thing’s, and the actions you take. Try to put yourself in others shoes. Treat others as you wished to be treated. And don’t do thing’s that you wouldn’t want done to you. For better or worse, you are sure to spare everyone's feelings. Even your own. Because your own feelings are sure to be dismissed, while you are silent.

Else you will be so busy running around taking care of everyone else's feelings, you may get lost. Or are you only serving the feelings you think others have? Wow. This is too confusing. Maybe I'll just state my experience as best as I can. You can, too. I will listen to you. Then, you can sort out your own feelings. There are trained professionals that can help you with your feelings. Therapists. But, in the meantime, I am not responsible for your feelings. And, Good News: You are not responsible for my feelings. As people having discourse, we are responsible for identifying our own feelings and communicating them clearly when appropriate.

Try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes, before proceeding. Often, if I feel someone is “bad” I ask myself if I have ever acted the way they are acting (often, I have behaved similarly). This makes me more fair in how I look at them and how I treat them. I would ask how you are hurting people’s feelings specifically. You cannot correct something if you don’t know that you’re doing it. Once you are aware of it and you want to change for the better, see what you can do or say to correct each persons feelings that you have hurt.

However don't overcommit or promise if you can't keep it. Sometimes “I'll think about it “ can work better than “Sure”. Think before you speak, or it's just better to stay quiet. Analyze every situation and know what's right and wrong with reasonable explanations. Always stay with the right side and explain to people politely when they are wrong. Learn to be more optimistic and find the best in people at their worst. Be straight forward with everyone. It's better to judge or criticize people at their face, rather than their back. No matter what they think of it. Don't be judgmental. Apology has a lot of power. Use it. Know when you are wrong and apologise to people, It's your duty to make things right if it's your fault, doesn't matter if they refuse to forgive you,

But remember that some people will hate you for no reason. Never try to win everyone. Good people will stay with you. Never apologise if you hadn't done anything wrong but also, don't be rude. In today’s absurdly odd climate you will not be able to avoid hurting someone’s feelings unless you never leave your house, and then someone is bound to denounce you as a snob. Taking offense has become normalized as a tactic to gain social dominance, so it’s rather hard to tell whether the “offense” is even real. If someone claims to have been offended by you, apologize. The ball is then in his or her court to forgive you. If forgiveness is with-held, it’s not your problem, anymore. Politely excuse yourself.

Be who you are. Fight for what you believe in, but do it as kindly as possible—not out of a desire to be inoffensive, but out of respect for the the other person as being made in the Image of God. There are those who, after the current fashion, will affect offense at something or other no matter what. Be kind, and Pray for them, for they are unhappy people—but don’t let them derail you. Cheers!

Very true Kishore Shintre ji. We don't need to win every one. We are good as we are in. We never try to win every one. Never apologize if we hadn't done anything wrong
