Yes i know there's the alpha way of just not caring what people think or say when you're getting criticized. for example:

guy:you look like such a faggot
pua:cool. so anyways...

but because my value is very high in my social circle im gettin hit from all angles with criticism by a few friends, on random things; im having trouble building some sort of frame(?) to beat this.

When someone criticizes adam lyons his frame was first to reply with:

what did you just say!?!?

so when hit with criticism just looking for ways to turn the situation around. like to have a frame set so mind doesn't blank on me. any links, books etc be helpful. thanks!

If it's criticism, I think you need new friends.

If it's friend to friend banter then you just need to come back harder but don't get angry about it, maintain the frame.

him: you're such a faggot
you: your sister didnt think so

Banter isn't being AMOGd and you can still engage in it if you maintain your frame. Worst thing you can do is ignore banter, especially if all eyes are on you. You'll look hurt.

it is friend to friend banter, but yea. its just hard establishing a frame to come-back.
im just at a loss. i play things by a set of principles.

ex: investment>>dhv story>> qualification

thanks for the reply though
