How does one become

Thick skinned?

I'm a sensitive person , I get emotional easily.

You will never make it far in life if you are very sensitive.. Somethings are just better to shake off instead of reacting to it..

To answer your question,
Somalis back home are naturally thick skinned, insensitive and aren't empathetic ofcourse that's not a good recipe and explains why we are where we are,
perhaps it's an issue that diasporans have in general , like the wise scholar from Sweden @The Smooth-Operator mentioned earlier it's better to not react rapidly to something you are dismay of or have a distate to it,

I constantly get roasted because of my dreads and tattoos by fellow Somalis but I brush it off with laughter

At the end of the day try to avoid something that may upset you or even change the topic thanks to our human abilities we can deter such uncomfortable situation and awkwardness with our psyche abilities kkkkk
@SOULSEARCHING i suggest you look at videos of Buddhism and Tibetian culture it's quite admiring how mentally strong they are

Hang on sxb ,let's not dive in there , we are already dealing with SJW and several interesting characters over here but what
I'm suggesting differs and doesn't correlate with any entities I have mentioned above,
However we can take few notes from the beliefs of Buddha , we can learn from these
uplifting alternatives and ofcourse our dear sister, which may can be beneficial to uplift and alleviate oneself

Stoicism should be implemented nationwide to destroy intolerance among Somalis , very good philosophy and a solution unfortunately there's not have been books published in AF Soomaali yet

Do you read greek philosophies more often ?

i agree and no occasionally i might read upon it

don't value negative opinion too much, focus on filtering them and only take out the positive ones and disregard the rest
