It brings up emotions — often because it connects to something personal, unresolved, or important to us. Examples:1- He joked about her changing careers. Everyone laughed — except her. She realized the joke had hit a nerve because deep down, she was already doubting herself.2- She didn’t mind feedback in general, but when her accent was mentioned, it suddenly felt different. That comment hit a nerve she didn’t know was still there.
