If you are sensitive to criticism and unwanted advice and opinions, you feel how you feel. Some people here said that's something you may want to change about yourself. I disagree. I think you can find ways to cope. That's what I do. There is nothing wrong with having a sensitivity. And unsolicited and unwanted advice and opinions are annoying. They can even be upsetting depending on how its delivered. I often don't get this crap in real life. Its more online, so I take measures to protect myself, like blocking the person. Doesn't mean I don't like them or have some sort of vendetta. I just know myself and when someone is repeatedly upsetting to me, well, bye bye. In real life though, I CAN think of some times. Like family things. I felt criticized by some extended family about my financial status for a while and this person was violating my boundaries after my saying that I wasn't comfortable talking about it. I ended up sending him and his wife, my aunt, a letter about how their unwanted comments make me feel, and telling them what I wanted. For them to stop. It worked. You don't have to go into personal specifics to set boundaries Sisabel. I wish you luck.
