My family often gangs up on me when it comes to the dinner table. It wouldn't hurt so much if they shared a different belief on some sort of topic, but they attack character traits of mine. Advice?

I think the best way to handle this is also the simplest one: communication. Try telling your family how that makes you feel and do so when you are completely calm, not during an argument. If you feel like talking to them one at a time is better, do so. If you feel like addressing them all at the same time at the dinner table, do so. But share your feelings with them. Repeat yourself if necessary. They will eventually listen. Good luck!
