Sure. People do that all of the time. Like if somebody tells me to stay out of something that I feel I could help out on I will act like I don't give a **** but, I actually do. And sometimes I will continue to think about it, tormenting myself in the process. What I really hate though is someone telling me that they - ooops. Almost said something I would surely come to regret later. But, yeah, also picking at me until I am thoroughly annoyed and then, giving me a light apology or no apology will really get under my skin and though I may try to hide it I am actually quite steamed over it.
