If you're that fragile then you can't. You can be more powerful by working out or joining self defense classes and that might change the way you look at yourself because that's what frustrating you, yourself. As long as you're allowing them to get to you, they will!

Perhaps you can try to see the goodness in strangers; after all, a stranger is but a friend that you've yet to meet! (;

To reduce frustration, we must remember why these strangers are contacting us. They are going through a crisis. We need to be considerate and patient. We also need to remember that they are not actually upset about themselves, but instead frustrated with their situation. The best thing to do is take a deep breath, stay neutral, and do your best to stay calm.

You should be empathetic. Think about what inconsiderate strangers are doing and why they do it. This will help you feel less stressed.

It may be a trigger to you if someone is inconsiderate, thus making you feel frustrated. Try to be patient with them, strangers tend to make assumptions because they do not know you. Stay calm and try to tell them how their comments make you feel.

Inconsiderate strangers can be frustrating, but remember we all have bad day's or wake up on the wrong side of the bed sometimes, try not to take it personally, just know that they are most likely having a bad day or going through some stuff so if they are inconsiderate towards you it is not necessarily because they have anything against you. and try not to let them ruin your day or frustrate you too much just keep the interaction as short as possible and go on with your day and do something nice for yourself, after that maybe have a tea or just a few moment to breath and relax a moment or speak with a friend or co worker.

Just try to remember that you don't know anything about what they're experiencing - they might be going through a hard time and end up projecting their feelings onto other people.

This is no easy task, but take deep breaths and understand that they might be going through a hard time themselves and maybe they never meant to be rude or inconsiderate.
