I'm 29. Yes I agree that you can consciously control what you do long-term in response to something, but you can't just whiff things off entirely.
If someone calls me a "fag", it will bother me whether I pretend it does or not. I'll be offended and it will probably play back in my head for a bit. I can try to let it not bother me, but it probably will at least a little.
"Words can't hurt me" is a fine personal mantra/goal/ideal but you can't apply it to everybody in every case.
