Just the other day, we were talking about cars and I mentioned it was just a car for transportation. They all looked at me perplexed. They asked what did I mean. Again, I said, it's just a car.
It's time to remind yourself that all other people are other selves. When one of them says something, avoid seeing it as a request for a lesson.
When someone complemented my car I would smile and say, "Well it starts every time and gets me where I want to go." When it stopped working I didn't replace it. Now I pedal and/or take transit, which is a strong message regarding cars and I don't open my mouth.
