Is anybody super affected by criticism? Even if it’s not meant as an insult but you take it as such?

yes, for example I was talking to my friend on the phone today and she was telling me about her new job. I had already forgotten the name of the restaurant like 5 times already, so I said “what’s the name of the place again? I keep forgetting lmfao” and she responded but i comprehended it as her saying “Grill Ball” and i repeated it with confusion because what fucking restaurant would be called that? And she said “Do you really think that would be the name?? What do you think it is.” In a condescending tone and that literally set me off SO MUCH and made me feel genuinely angry. Like i perceive any sort of criticism or anything that even sounds slightly critical as the other person looking down on me and completely judging me, thinking I’m stupid. For the rest of the phone call I felt like we were in a silent argument, like there was tension even though she probably didn’t think anything of it. One single judgement like that will literally have me thinking they don’t really like me or that they think bad shit about me in their head. And almost every time that someone has judged or insulted or even just disagreed with me in the past is stuck in my brain, and i think about it like daily. The worst part is It makes me angry because I know I’m not stupid, but I feel like I display myself as being stupid and it makes me overly defensive about people saying things like that because i’m convinced everyone I know actually thinks that. And my brain turns on me and starts making me think it’s 100% true, so I just feel overall degraded and defenseless.
