What does Proverbs 12:16 mean?

When a fool gets insulted, everyone knows it right away. But a wise person shrugs it off and keeps calm. Proverbs 12:16 - Modern Text Bible

(This verse contrasts how foolish and wise people handle offense. Fools react instantly and visibly, while wise people stay composed and don't let insults get to them.)
