I developed a thick skin for trolls and shit talkers not long after embracing Odinism. Stanza 15 is golden, that is if you can remember it when shit goes sideways.
It's gotten easier over time though, especially living as a Pagan in Southern Baptist ass South Florida. Needless to say, I've had plenty of practice . .
Also, learning over time to remain calm, even in battle, not just before it. That one was harder.
It's also given me the best method of dealing with the chest thumping shit talkers. If they get within about 3 feet of me, and they haven't started swinging, while they are just running their mouth, I spit directly in it. Both before and after that, I'm dead ass silent. I'm telling you bro, just "hawk tuah" and It takes them about half a second to process what happened, in which I've already slapped them whole handed in the face preferably across their jaw / ear.
Not laughing is the hardest part, but even after that, I stay calm and quiet.
It's only happened 3 times, but all 3 of them desperately deserved it.
Havamal is the best piece of literature ever spoken, or written. It's timeless.
