Like a lot of the time people/friends will criticise me wrongly of mistakes everyone makes and even things that I have no control over.

Even when at the gym and I perform a lift that I think is a good achievement (meaning better than my PB), they’ll be like, “that’s it?! Come you’re better than that” and I’ll reply, “I’m happy with that, it’s a good improvem...” they’ll cut me off and be like, “Nah, come on, what was that?” This happens a lot.

A lot of the time people will cut me off when talking or not take me seriously. I get that I don’t like 97% of people, but what’s so hard about being respectful.

There’s a lot more that goes on, like people saying racist remarks infront of me, and saying “I don’t even care that you’re here, I had to say it.” Or people making fun of my appearance. People excluding me from the group, and even family too, my family doesn’t even see me as an independent person. They treat me the same since I was 14.

And the thing is this...None of this actually bothers me. The thing that bothers me is how to respond when they know I don’t like what they’re doing. Once they say something I don’t like, I always ignore them. And then they wonder what’s wrong with me, why I’m being quiet. How do I let them know that they should change?

Don't take unfounded and unsolicited criticism too seriously

It's best to answer this briefly and concisely or turn this around sarcastically

This. You have no control over other people's behaviour, only your own. Don't take it too seriously. People who needlessly criticize others non-constructively have their share of issues.

Accept and move on.
