Someone doesn't approve of something I said or looked at me disapprovingly. If I get reprimanded for something minor. BOOM my mind goes into overdrive and eats me alive. I'm bar FAR my worst enemy, the tape recorder in my mind, when it get's going, says the absolute worst things about myself.

It's difficult to deal with this kind of thing when the triggers are so irrational and so mundane. Everyone faces these small hurdles every day, but for someone with my type of issues it starts that infernal tape recorder going in my head.
