Words are extremely powerful. They have to power to change someone's mind. They have the power hurt someone emotionally. Words are strong enough to make someone hurt themselves physically because they're so hurt emotionally. So no, it's not being "weak" it's being human. Anyone that has ever 発言しました "Words never hurt me," is a liar. If words never hurt あなた または have never hurt あなた then あなた have no sense of humanity. It takes a while to not feel hurt over a few bad words. Right now words may not hurt あなた but, at some point they will または have. Unless you're an emotionless physcopath. Then it all makes sense.
