Why do I struggle to let go of criticism

I am still dwelling on the stuff my uncle said to me two days ago about me not having a job. I feel dysregulated over a silly criticism … why does it get to me so much! i critisise myself enough, I don’t need others giving me ■■■■ as well. I told his brother (my uncle) he has too much time on his hands to be worrying about my job situation.

This is the reason why I feel I need DBT, not CBT.

It took me years of work to stop ruminating about things like this

I told my mom that I cannot continue talking with her if she only tells me negative things in this doom gloom tone about me. I told her that this tone of her voice appeared in my psychotic episode and it freaks me out.

Now she speaks differently to me or at least is trying.
