Wow I would love to have a thick skin too!!
Unfortunately I am not cut out of thick skin and will always be sensitive. Being sensitive is not so bad, is it?

Do not analyze what you did or how you could fix it only analyze the motivations of those who are criticizing or taunting you.
You will find that they have the problem, not you. You will begin to see that they do it to feel better about themselves and there is absolutely no relationship between their behavior and you except that by coincidence you are physically close to them at the moment.
Then, as you begin to see the truth you will gain more and more confidence in yourself until their words hardly or do not hurt at all. You will not be hurt by someone who is hurting much worse than you.
They will find some one else to torture, because (as strange as this may seem) they will recognize your confidence and it will hurt them so much more that they will not want to be around you.

Make it a habit - not to get upset when someone criticises you or taunts you. Just think to yourself "Well if you were as smart as you think you are you wouldn't have said that." Paul McKenna reckons you should see people who are critical or bullies - in your minds eye - in their underpants- and then make them samller and smaller until they disappear. You should try it. I've laughed in a few peoples faces!! Good luck and don't let them get you down. As the Romans used to say "Nil illegiteme carborundum."

Ask them Questions. The person asking the questions is in charge of the
conversation! i.e. Have you tried praying for me? Can you explain why I make you feel that way? Do you always change when someone finds a fault in you?

Very good question!
1. a conscious breathing excersize for 30 minutes for 120 days in a row.
2add to that to begin with to chill your liver (anger)
inhale in eight segments with your tongue out breathing through our nose
and exhale in eight segments.
The exhaled air will cool and dry up your tongue and will cool down your liver.
Both excersizes are very subtle but powerfull yoga techniques
3. Try EFT on http://www.emofree.com
4.
try a cure at alfons

Make discipline is your best friend.
to become emotionally detached is the way into health and a long life
Good luck
