Another thing, if you feel rising above everything most of the time

strains you

Here's how you play the game back, you remove aspects of life from them

If they know you about your hobbies and interests, remove them from conversations

"you going to the gym tonight?"

You "no, I've quit the membership"

"why"

You "I just don't think I'm going to go anymore"

Then you carry on going to the gym. It's your very own silent banter back. The more they goad you, the less you let them know about you. The less they goad you, the little bits you bring back in

It's ultimately a control thing, once you're in control quietly, you'll be fine
