request for... suggestions? recommendations?

(I just posted this on tumblr also.)

Right so I've rarely tried to articulate this before so I have no idea how wacky it is going to sound to other people:

Sometimes I struggle in a “weak sense of self” kind of way, where if someone, particularly an authority figure, projects an inaccurate personality on me, while ignoring my attempts at correcting them... it’s like I start to worry that this is what my life is always going to be like from now on and I can never make it stop?

In general, all it takes for me to snap out of it is one close friend chatting to me for a few minutes and it’s like the world rights itself. But. I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas about like... objects? Resources? That can act as sense-of-self security blankets? Like for emergencies.
