I used to get that from my mother. Or... If people are telling you that they must be right. Well the truth is a hundred people could be telling you something and they could all be wrong. And who wants to be "just like everybody else" anyway! I don't know where you are with the stress (what's causing it, etc) but you can cognitively learn skills on how to be resilient to nasty comments. It means accepting control for your own actions only and relinquishing control of theirs. Allowing yourself to feel depressed or angry for more than a minute is giving them more power than they deserve. Resilience means letting it go ASAP and not allowing your emotions to get involved.

Unfortunately I don't know if that is possible.....I mean I still feel rather upset about it. Certainly not as much as before but yeah cant deny that it bothers me. I don't think I have control of other peoples actions....but even so I still feel horrible when they have to go out of their way to be jerks....with having PTSD I think that makes it even harder to let stuff like that go, I also have no self esteem/confidence or whatever.
If there is a switch to turn off emotions at will it might be nice to find it...
