If you want to build a ‘thicker skin’ then you have to put yourself out there more. Actively seek these situations, trying to have more control over your reactions.

For example...

I take fitness classes. When I started out in this game, some of the comments from the participants used to throw the shit out of me. I would be seething. Fitness classes are a tough crowd. Over time though, i realised that my reaction was causing the most pain and not the actual comments themselves.

Over the years I learned to block it out all the while processing the information right in front of me ie where the actual words are coming from. In my case it was usually some fat hefer or post wall chick. How could I be fazed by their words.

Sounds similar to the situation you’re in. Some office cuck desperately trying to play the big man.
