I feel like this is a real problem for me. If there is one thing that triggers me more than anything it's being laughed at. I suppose that's the same for everyone. My question is regarding your reaction to it. 

The moments in my life when I have been laughed at stick with me like nothing else. I just can't deal with it at all. Even when it's in jest from someone I struggle and have to remind myself that it's what people do. 

Does anyone have any strategies they use to calm down or rationalize when someone makes fun of them? I caught someone laughing at me in the gym and I stopped going for a few weeks. Even something as ridiculous as playing an online game I can't deal with the horrible attitudes I encounter from people at times. Sometimes it just seems to me like people are out to be malicious for no reason and I don't know if it's me creating it or what.
