Words can only hurt you if you let them. It is a sign of maturity when you do not give other people the power to control how you feel. Below are the opening lines of one of my favorite poems.
.
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise

Words can stab you like a knife.
I’ve been called plenty of names in my time but I’ve developed a thick skin over the years and now I couldn’t care less what people think of me.
