Maybe you folks have better ideas...

What do you do when someone dumps a steaming pile of judgment all over you, still warm from the source?

I haven't yet learned how to not care, and I'm often bad with a quick zinger of a comeback. So what I do is just kinda mope. Not optimal I suppose.

Yeah, I wish I were that rational about it all! I care too much what others think, whether those others are important to me or not. I often do eventually come around to a "Oh, who cares what that person thinks" frame of mind, if it's someone I'll never see again, but it can take hours or (if it's a bad one) days, and I wish it didn't take me anywhere near that long.
