Try to not see everything as an attack against your identity, detach yourself from it and don't take yourself too seriously. Been there, done that.

Now I have a way more pleasant life experience and people takes me seriously without having me needing to assert who I am. Life is lighter now and I have more friends, people few more comfortable around me.

I'm giving this feedback because I think it will make your life better too.

Was nice to chat with you, now I'll go out for a bike ride while I still a bit of sun over here.

Happy Easter!
