It helps to remind yourself that we live in an insane asylum and it's never a good idea to take what the other inmates say or do to heart.
Music usually helps me. When I was younger, I would go out for a beer at a local tavern or maybe hang out with friends.
The first thing to do when you're being attacked in any way is to remind yourself not to be afraid.
If that works, a lot of the time there doesn't need to be a second thing to do.

I listen to a scholar who is very knowledgeable and ihas a way of talking thats very nice. Obviously he talks about Islam but on times he talk about things we may be facing in our daily life.
Here a video about how a person should act with physical or verbally abuse

Whether on internet or in real life, it is not needed to chill out. Do that after you have given a fit reply.

Yes. First remove yourself from the annoying person (easy online, just switch your computer off) then engage in some calming activity. For me listening to music works very well also, but whatever works.

But the downside to this for me anymore is that then I become lonely once the people are removed so I am in essence replacing something bad for something else bad.

Do you have options to find people who you find more amenable (online or offline)? eg facebook groups you share common interests with, a local sports club or social activity...
Or you're making room for something better.
One door closes, another opens, but the hallways in between can seem kind of empty.
Yeah, I've been attacked a lot in my life....
I seldom lost it.
The occasions I did, it was well merited.

People on the internet? They usually can't reach you in any way. Ignoring them is easy. RF even provides an "ignore" function, which does the ignoring for you.
People IRL are a bit different. You may want something from them, or they have power over you. Realistically asses what would happen if you tell them to fly a kite. If you can live with the repercussion, do it. If you can't, imagine it.

I would say no.

In almost every instance, it's not really you they are attacking. It's some idea that you are presenting them that they can't accept. Or it's some image of you that they made up in their minds. Or it's some circumstance in their lives that has them itching to lash out.
However, sometimes it really is us. We are presenting ourselves in such a way that tends to really annoy others. And if that's the case, we should probably make an effort to stop it. Since adding to the general animosity in the world isn't a good way to live. It invites animosity in return. And who needs it?

I'd think if you have a particular interest there's likely to be an fb group for it.
