to take something personally
to feel hurt or offended by something that wasn't intended to be directed at you · to internalize criticism or comments
What's the situation?
Ever been in a meeting where feedback was given generally, but you couldn't shake the feeling it was all about *you*? 😅 Or when a friend makes a joke, and it just hits a little too close to home? This expression perfectly captures that feeling of owning a comment that wasn't necessarily meant for you.
