It's something that isn't particularly useful as no offense is meant.

It makes sense to be upset when someone's angry at you for something you didn't know was wrong-- after all, you didn't mean to hurt them, and it feels bad knowing you could have prevented someone being hurt and didn't. But I think that the thing to do is:

1) try to figure out whether you accidentally did something that it makes sense to be upset about. And if so, stop doing it.
2) When you figure out why they're upset, if it's something that you're not willing to stop doing, then accept that people will be angry at you. Which is their right, and doesn't do you any real harm.

I think it's important not to skip straight to step two, if that makes sense.
