I am wondering if "like a sponge" works in this sentence?
Martin was like a sponge, soaking up praise and insults and seldom showing any emotion. Once, I asked him how he managed to stay calm all the time, and he told me he didn't know. "Maybe I am just a good actor or don't give a damn. If I cared what people thought about me, I'd get sick in no time," he said.
