I know the "Stop Sign" is the best tool I have.
When it gets really stupid, I may laugh aloud, as if I was hearing a "joke" (this took practice), just before I walk away having had enough.
Keep working. Have fun. It is only a game.

Yes, I have a lot to learn. These little sentences help. I can memorize them, and repeat them to myself, like mantras. This approach has helped me in other situations, and I will work to apply it here. "Threatened" is exactly how I felt, and that's where I need to do the most work. How do I practice laughing aloud? Sounds strange to me, even though I know it could be very effective. Thanks for the advice.
