Woman in love, may have to come out twice
I can completely understand why you don't enjoy spending time embroiled in this toxic system, and I think you should explain why.
Dear Amy: Regarding responding to comments about height: I used to use the line, "I'm not short, I'm fun-sized."
Recently, I updated my response to: "I'm eco-friendly."
This always gets a smile!

Dear DD: You're helping to save the planet, one smile at a time.
