What I always hear is “grow thick skin”. I guess there should be a process to do that or a mental training. But how?
I don’t talk about insensitivity or sociopath behaviour, but more like being toughy when it comes to little problem.

Cold showers help me with this personally. While taking cold showers I focus on staying calm & relaxed and taking deep breathes which I believe helps me develop my ability to control ‘How I am feeling’ versus ‘What I am feeling’.
The cold water sucks, so I’m feeling its chilling effects however in my mind I stay calm.
I apply this practice in social settings like this,
Person A says something negative to me
1. I interpret and process what they say (What I am feeling)
2. Disregard what they say because idgaf (How I am feeling)
Cold showers also help to literally help you develop thicker skin too! Since i’ve started taking them my physical pain tolerance has gone through the roof!
