I tried another approach. I decided that, instead of Duality Review trying to create a life no one would ever criticize, I'd make myself immune to criticism. I'd find some spiritual practice, or personal development tool, that would help me grow a skin so thick that nothing would ever get through. Unfortunately, this didn't work either. As it turned out, no amount of meditation, going to men's groups, forcing myself to do scary stuff, or anything else completely took the sting out of people's jabs. It became clear that, probably, I was never going to feel completely okay with getting ridiculed, condescended to, and so on.
This seemed like a depressing discovery at first. But eventually, it led to a valuable realization. If there will always be people who criticize me, and I'll never be 100% "zen" about it, I might as well just do whatever I want with my life. How liberating it felt to give up my painful quest to build a "bulletproof life," or numb myself to the pain of people's putdowns, and just live the way I wanted.
