You might be feeling surprisingly sensitive right now, which means an offhand remark could hurt your feelings pretty easily. Try to take other people's comments with a grain of salt, or at least don't let them know that what they've said is bothering you. Some people might try to get a rise out of you if they know you're prone to taking things a little too seriously. Wear a calm exterior, but let the people closest to you know you're hurting inside. You can take great pride in the way you're conducting yourself.
