As a family of immigrants, my parents’ were of the sticks and stones school, tempered with, but stand up to any physical bullying or real harassment (so I guess there was some lingering “honor culture”). Besides developing a thicker skin and a quicker wit for smart comebacks, I actually think you develop more empathy because you have to internalize any hurt. It’s a lot easier to seek third party sympathy/action to address any perceived slight, whether minor, large, intentional, unintentional vs trying to resolve the conflict yourself, which requires an analysis and then a decision as to whether if in fact there is a fight to fight and if it is even worth it.
