Here's my problem: the things people say to me when they are angry stick to me.

Is something wrong with me? Is there a clinical term for this? Is there a book I can read about how to be a better person in this regard? Does anyone else have this experience, and if so, is it connected to a disorder or syndrome or something?

Curious: Is it one (or several) person/people in particular and what is your relationship with them?
There are many self help books on this subject, depending on the specifics of the situation. Perhaps something about assertive communication skills would help. I came across a book called, "Coping with Difficult People" by Robert Bramson years ago that identified several types and suggestions for effective responses. You can find it on Amazon or perhaps your local library can get it for you. I don't know if it's still in print.
Best of Luck!
