Well, I can't say for sure given the information you have provided. I have to say this topic is a "sensitive" one for me because my mom always told me that I was being "too sensitive." She never could get that she was actually emotionally abusing me. (She has been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder with borderline tendencies. She has alway been very critical, and believe me, she is the epitome of too much sensitivity herself.)

I suspect you have just been worn down over the years and what folks say now makes it worse--or, in fact, people are saying abusive things. As I say, I can't say for sure.

Have you been in therapy? That could help you get a more professional opinion, plus help build up any self-esteem that's sagging.

If you'd like, then you could post again and tell us what specific things are setting you off.
