Nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about, quite the opposite in my opinion. You may have a highet tolerance to some things than other people, and thus a "lower reactivity" as you said, maybe. Is this something you would like to change - are you hurting yourself by feeling/acting this way? If you aren't, then I don't think you need to worry any further. I'm sure that the people around you, although they may not directly show it and it may be difficult to see, are grateful that you don't snap back at them and return their pissed off/aggressive tones. It's a strength of character that you have and they lack.

I understand where you are coming from... I asked this question because other people see my behavior. It's reputation at stake.
