They might really mean that they didn't mean to hurt you and they don't understand what happened (even if they don't know to say it in those words).
When you get feedback about being sensitive, what do you do with that? Is it working?
If you keep getting feedback about being sensitive, then what will you do with that feedback? Is there any truth in it? How can you make use of that knowledge?

Thank you for your insight Rapunzel..
When someone tells me I'm sensitive to me it means that my feelings are out of bounds for the situation. That I don't have the right to my feelings of hurt or disappointment etc..
When I get feedback about being sensitive I get defensive. I've spent my entire life not being 'sensitive'. Not being sensitive by shutting my emotions down as a way to survive. Hiding my emotions as it was not acceptable to show them as a child. Now when I do show my emotions or talk about what has bothered me I'm sensitive. I feel like I'm in one of two roles either I'm a child that sits there and 'takes it' and says nothing or I say something and then I'm 'sensitive'.

Do you suppose T just meant "sensitive".. as opposed to insensitive... ?

I heard the word sensitive but my interpretation = I'm too sensitive.
