Hello CaramelSkky: Well... this is an excellent question. I've always been exquisitely sensitive to what others say. Any little slight tends to just cut me to the quick, as the saying goes. And I also tend to ruminate on such things to excess. To some extent, I find that I just have to wait & allow whatever it is that was said to slowly dissipate over the course of a day or two. Knowing that this is what will typically happen does seem to help somewhat. I also try to see such events as being opportunities to learn something about myself. In other words I try to be a "student of myself". What is it about what was said that has affected me? How might I have handled the situation differently? How might I handle a similar situation differently in the future? And then, beyond that, I simply try to accept whatever has occurred. As my Signature quote below says: "In other traditions, demons are expelled externally. But in my tradition, demons are accepted with compassion." My best wishes to you...
