I wish I had an answer for you. My mind twists stuff all the time. It drives me crazy.
 I've tried various distractions but none seem to work.

I don't know either. Maybe if you can describe it more...I'd love to hear more about what you're experiencing.

Like if somone jokes around with me and calls me stupid. somone close to me like a guy tht im talking to I'll get so mad. I don't like the s word I feel a type of way about it. Yesterday I kicked the guy am dating out because of it. I couldn't even communicate to him why I was mad. It was something so little that I made a big deal out of. He didn't even say the word stupid he called me smart instead but he wanted to say stupid he was only joking but I got mad at him but then I kind of apologized and told him tht I was sorry tht my brain just likes to twist things around and make a big deal outta nothing

Cognitive Distortions? Yeah, takes years of practice, but worth it.
Good luck, moogs

When I was younger, I used to jokingly call everyone a dork. Well, there was a girl who was very offended and told me that she was NOT a dork and I was not to call her that. I felt very silly and apologized profusely but I did not understand why she was so offended; I took it personally like she just didn't like me. Now I do understand. It is terribly rude and disrespectful to call someone names. No one likes to hear it. My husband does it to me sometimes and it is hurtful. It makes sense that you feel the way that you feel.

Relying on a neutral 3rd party whom you trust that you can bounce your thoughts off I find helps me sometimes if I'm in doubt ...

I don't like the s word either. Or retarted. Uncalled for. It's one of a few words that will make me break from my introverted personality and snap
