Hi 88butterfly do you have a professional you can ask about this? There's this saying in this show person of interest , just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you're not right (paranoia being a symptom of bpd).
I think we as emotionally sensitive people, or I'll speak for myself here, do tend to take things personally when other people say things against us. Other people may be able to brush it off. Us? Not so easy. I've been criticized for being "thin skinned" "over reactive" "too sensitive" by people who were supposed to love me (family and spiritual family). At this point in my life if people are saying things that I am "taking personally" then I probably shouldn't be around those people, know what I'm saying? Does that make sense?
