How to not be affected by people?

I really want to know what should I say to myself, how should I think to not get upset when somebody is in a bad mood and talks bad to me, or when I am arguing with somebody, or when somebody out of nowhere tells me bad things (especially when it's someone close). How do I just let go without feeling bad, without getting mad?
