I literally cannot play Counter Strike some days because I get so triggered by what my teammates say. It doesn't matter if the game was otherwise good or if we're winning, if one asshole on my team makes a snide remark to me I just can't handle it. I get defensive and hostile, start sweating from my armpits, get an adrenaline rush, and get really shaky. I know it's irrational to get so mad over shit talk on the internet but I can't help it, I'm extremely sensitive for some reason.
It's not just in video games either, when someone in their car yells at me I also get really triggered. I'll replay the moment in my head all day and won't get over it for a week.
I'm also a really shy person, to the point where I'm mute in a lot of situations. It might be because I'm scared of people, scared of the reactions they might have to things I say. It's like socialization is too much for my brain to handle.
I want to be a relaxed person who doesn't care what other people think. It's really ruining my life. When I was 18 I literally quit my job because my boss yelled at me once. That's how bad it is... I'm a 20 year old male btw

It's OK to be sensitive, OP.
Your problem seems to be that you take too many things personally. The guy telling you "fuck your mother bitch" on CS is lashing out because the kid got scolded by his mom for not taking out trash. That boss yelling at you is probably constantly stressed out and prone to yell at most people.
You need to learn that world is not all about you, OP. For example, I am into arts myself, 24 year old male, been to art schools, now a graphic designer, and I am also incredibly sensitive to people's words and prone to rumination and guilt, but I've been also digging into self-help material in the past years, which has helped me to overcome this, while not becoming an asshole.
Basically, I recommend you do deep breathing exercises and meditation, maybe even go for a walk outside occasionally. These have all been scientifically proven to work better than anti-depression medication (not kidding).
Imagine that it's Germany 1940 and some jew gets a knock at the door by SS officers who have an order to escort the jewish family to death camp. Is it likely that their family done something wrong, or maybe, just maybe, it's the case that same faith struck tens of thousands of jewish families in Germany, and it's not them at fault, but the whims of forces greater than them which they cannot control? That is how life can be sometimes, that you have to submit to a certain faith, and make the best of the circumstances you are given. Is Hitler mad at Goldstein family in particular, or all jewish families at once? The latter one, just like how boss yelling at you has an anger problem, not that you are a fuck up and they need to go out of their way to punish you.

I'm also extremely sensitive and socially anxious as a result, and this is very good advice.
OP, if you really do your best to do well and not be an asshole there is nothing you can be blamed for, really.
