I am an introvert, and very selective w whom I talk to or invest my energy in. People notice this and kind of take it as a green signal to pass mean comments, some even from friends, I think most of them just project whatever onto someone who chooses to be quiet in certain situations or is not necessarily loud. I have had comments about my body weight, my social habits (like why do I talk less, not go out), pointing out my insecurities or the things I am anxious about. I do read people very well, I am aware about what their intentions are too and also i know some of them are just projecting. But when it comes to giving comebacks or witty responses or clapbacks, i just don't know what to say at the moment because I am still processing it, and that makes it seem like I am just allowing or tolerating such comments. How do I handle such situations?
