How To Stop Being Angry At Someone

So the next time someone criticises you, lets say they say your selfish just reply in a nice and loving way and say "thank you that's how I look after myself and give myself self care"

The main thing here is not to reflect the anger back as you are not angry but they are.

Look after yourself and be you, no one can change you without your consent.
