Hi guys, need some advice here.
I have an anger management issue, especially when people joke about my flaws or insecurities. Sometimes I get triggered quite easily and end up reacting emotionally in front of my peers.
Recently, after I reacted badly in front of them, they started spreading rumours about how I reacted and making fun of me. Some of them even smirk at me and call me “autistic” or “idiot”. They seem to find my reactions damn funny, but honestly, it makes me feel quite embarrassed and disrespected.
At the same time, I find it hard to stay calm when people keep poking fun at my flaws, especially when they do it in front of others.
For context, I'm looking for advice on how to handle this kind of situation, especially in NS environment where you still have to see these people regularly.
How do you guys deal with people who try to provoke you or make fun of you without losing your temper?
Would appreciate any advice from those who have gone through something similar. Thanks guys.
