I can relate to this. I was the type person where it mattered a great deal how people felt about me. I let my self get emotionally hurt. Not on purpose, and I guess I am still bad about that. I have always been a people pleaser, and non confrontational, and I am very bad at taking any kind of criticism. I am trying to work on this, but it is very hard for me to change when I have been this way for 50 something years. Talk with your T about it, and your T may be able to tell you things to practice to help. I know it has a lot to do with personal self esteem.
