I struggle to not take jokes personally -- need advice.
I'm a very sensitive person. I don't show it or make it everyone's problems, but the dumbest jokes directed at me upset me and it's really annoying. Obviously sometimes people are assholes, yet sometimes they're just joking around.
Recently someone joked about how a game I play is cringe, and like that person isn't even my friend, yet I'm still thinking about it like an idiot. I won't lie, he was annoying because it was a conversation that didn't involve him, he just butted in to say that for no reason -- yet I REALLY shouldn't be thinking about it THIS much. It's not a big deal at the end of the day. I guess I'm a bit bothered because I don't normally talk about my interests due to fear of judgement, and well now I feel judged...?
So yeah, how do I develop thicker skin for this stuff? Thanks.
