I've learned to step back and understand what is offending me. I try not to take is as an insult, but as constructive criticism if it turns out to be a valid point. The sting will eventually wear off.

You can take it lightly and not to the heart, don't think that what they have said is meant to offend you, maybe they are genuine. Don't overthink about what they have said

I guess it would help not taking things personally and knowing you are here this moment and are facing this roght now but its going to pass and you are not to blame.

one way could be to understand that everybody has their point of view and opinion. So just listen to it and take it at face value and let it be. It could take sometime to stop feeling offended or hurt but once we realize that what they are saying doesnt really change anything then it helps

Try to put yourself in your "offender"'s shoes and see it from their perspective. You'll most likely find the more appropriate response for the "offence" after you've reassessed in this way.
