Quit being a bitch face you fucking queer. Just kidding did you grow up sheltered or were you always sensitive? I was really sensitive as a kid but in the environment I grew up in quickly molded me. If you could give us a little more background info I'm sure some people could shoot better tailored tips.

Two concepts i use.
It is what it is. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be.
I am who i am, if i wasn't me I'd be someone else. If i want to be someone else, i should change me. If i don't want to be someone else, then I'm the me i choose to be.
If someone calls me something that is true, then that's no more insulting than looking in the mirror. If it's something I can change, then it's my fault it's true not theirs. If it's something i can't change, then i can't change it so why worry.
If what they say isn't true, than it's no more insulting than calling me a purple pregnant unicorn.

I'd suggest a few options, I'd go with one which suits your personality fundamentals to make the transition easier.
1) Fuel your ego and build an arrogant but strong sense of self confidence as armour. (Do more activities and incorporate it into your sense of self. You only get hurt if you believe the criticisms are true.)
2) Let go of your ego and your attachment to your sense of self and there is nothing left for others to hit. (i.e. Meditate etc, Buddhism style.)
3) Grow a strong sense of humour and enjoy the banter. (i.e. Hang out with some Australians for a few years.)
Ultimately all solutions require you gaining more experience in the world. So maybe just start there and see where you end up. (Such a question strongly suggests to me you are young so just keep putting yourself out there and grow from the experience.)

You probably have low self-esteem so you value other people's opinions more then your own. Fix what you don't like and you'll feel better and won't get so mad.

I used to be that way too. I'm not exactly sure what the catalyst was but at some point I came to the realization that I'm confident with who I am and the only other person that has any say whatsoever is my wife.

I always find it easiest to view things as if they're happier to a 3rd party.
Like think every day, if I were reading this in a book or watching it in a movie, would I care about what was happening. So if someone says something negative about me, I'd just be like "well that is certainly something, but I'm going to work on resolving the main plot."
