I'm lucky. When I was young I was taught a few ideas that stuck and keep me on an even keel. Maybe they'll help you. Among them: "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me." "Don't believe everything you read." and to some degree "Fools' names and fools' faces always appear in public places." Of course these are exactly as I learned them as a child; I've updated them as I've grown.
