Aw Eddie, I'm sorry you are feeling bad. You're not alone in this matter. I've felt what you describe. Does it help when you talk about the particular situation with someone? Sometimes I've found out that the deliverer of the criticism has something bad going on, or is obnoxious to other people too. It doesn't always work, but I try to remind myself that sometimes the argument or criticism has more to do with the other person than with me.
take care,
