How do you grow thick skin mentally? How does a brain not care about someone’s opinion?

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.

My quick answer is that you have to care so much more about something else.

I work as the pastor of a church.

If someone does something that harms the unity of the church then I have to dive in to the discussion even if I hate confrontation because I love unity so much more.

If that person I corrects doesn’t like me . . . TOO BAD!

Obedience to Jesus and unity within the church are way more important.

also, a favourite quote.

“You wouldn’t care so much what people think of you if you realized how seldom they do (think of you).
