I went to basic training, Great Lakes LLC RTC, a guy can put a gun to my head and I wouldn't care at this point.

Like everything it depends. Just general insults from strangers? Whatever, I don’t let those emotionally impact me. Who cares. Insults from someone I actually know? Totally different, especially since they tend to be a lot more specific and personal. A friend or family member knows what to say to get under your skin. And those are the ones that stick with you emotionally.
