Yeah I do silly things like this sometimes and wonder why do I let people get to me. Lately I have tried to “practice” saying either nothing or asking the person why they said what they said. It’s hard. I tend to speak my mind so keeping quiet doesn’t come natural to me. Changing a behavior takes time. With practice I think it’s possible to slow this down so it doesn’t happen as often or to the same extreme. Try not to be too hard on yourself when it happens... I’m terribly hard on myself and it tends to just make things worse.
