There's a idea I heard that helped me. Buddhist, I think it is. Maybe you will find it useful too.

If someone offers you a gift, and you accept it, who does the gift belong to? You.

If someone offers you a gift, and you don't accept it, who does the gift belong to? The giver.

So, if someone gives you the "gift" of a unwanted comment, and you don't accept it, who does the comment belong to?

This taught me to leave the comment with the other person. To move on, because it wasn't mine to deal with.

The judgements of other people now affect me less and I know what I want to believe and who I want to listen to.

I hope you find the peace that that brought me.

Everyone has their own experiences, fears, hole io and beliefs. When they look at you, they often interpret you according to their own standards, not according to who you truly are.
