How not to take things personally

Do you want to be right? Or do you want to be happy?
Strategy 1

It is not going to hurt when someone says you are an orange - because you know it is not true.
But, it is going to hurt a little bit when someone says you are selfish - because you know there may be some truth to it. If that is the case, show some empathy towards yourself. Speak up and open up about yourself to the other person. It gives the other person a chance to understand what is going on.
