I'm not sure if it's self esteem or just temporarily giving up on socializing, but if something/someone gets me down, i can sometimes be out of it for a couple of hours/days until i get happy about something and then i'm back to my normal self. I'm really quiet/not really social till then :(

I guess what I want to know is how to not let my head get to me? help if you can?

Just don't pay attention to them? There will always be people who like putting others down. That's just life. So just forget them and hang with others who are nicer. =)

You honestly have to talk yourself through it, because you bring your own mood down. You have to say ego-boosting things like 'it's okay, i'm okay. i'm confident, i'm happy, i'm not tricking myself into silly self-pity.'
it sounds dumb, but it's better than thinking 'i suck' every five minutes, which is quite easy to do.
try not to be self-conscious about this kind of thing. don't be hard on yourself if you can't get back to your 'normal self' either. everyone goes through this, you just have to wait it out.
