Jocko Underground: You Care Too Much About Other People's Opinion About You

Tearing things down is easier than building things up ... That's the default human thing. The default human thing is to tear down rather than to build. So expect that what people are going to do is tear you down.

It's a real sign of insecurity where someone is so focused on what other people think that inside their own mind, they think that same thing.

Just remember that — the other people that are coming at you, they're making fun of you, they're just trying to cover up for something themselves, trying to make themselves feel better. So don't worry about it.

You will get annihilated, annihilated in training even in boot camp, if you take things personally.

You just gotta accept that this bantering and tearing down of people and of things is 100% a part of life.
