There are two ways I could answer that question. One is simple and straightforward, and the other is probably better, but longer and more involved. I'll go for simple right now and see if I feel like doing longer, later. The simple answer is: re-evaluate. Sit myself down, take a long look in my metaphorical mirror, and ask myself, "Do I really want to live in reaction to the opinions of others? What do I want for myself? And what is it that is making these others so powerful in my thinking?" Then I begin to re-create the habit of being true to myself consciously, deliberately, step by step, and moment by moment until I have re-established my connection with inner (or higher) wisdom.
I hope that didn't come out sounding like wishy washy garbage.
