In psychology,what do you call this?

I'm emotionally extremely sensitive and when I get emotionally damaged with a psychic attack(a direct and less subtle psychic attack:say like somebody putting me down in front of other/s for competitive purposes)I get easily emotionally damaged to the point of it even affecting my speech and orientation,at times for years to come.But I try to not show it which seems to have contributed to a case of alcoholism…

Update:

Ok I’ll share what i commented to someone anonymous(as an example of a psychic attack and resulting emotional damage and a relative symptom:broken speech)here with everyone if the comment wasn’t read:There was this one guy(to whom i speak in English)who put me down in front of another for some reason in 2014 and made me look and feel like s h i t.I pretended that everything was fine and said that it was okay but my English became broken for years and it still kinda is at times...

    I'm not a psychiatrist or psychologist, but the words hypersensitive, inferiority complex, and paranoid come to mind. Naturally, and I'm reasonably sure you're aware of it, alcohol isn't the solution. It adds to the problem. It's a form of temporary escape which deadens the feeling but doesn't treat the underlying cause and, of course, it will kill you. I don't know what your cultural background is nor in what society you live, but often these contribute to the problem. The fear of being ridiculed or made to feel even more inferior prevents many people from seeking help. However, a person who does displays enormous courage under such circumstances and the intelligent will realize this. Try to realize that if you allow the opinions of everyone you meet to be accurate you will always fail. Just the fact that different people have different opinions should indicate to you that they can't all be right. Long ago I was told that if you wish to please everyone you will always fail.

    You may find it hard to believe me, and I hate people saying "I know how you feel" when it's impossible for anyone to know how you feel, but I can say that I went through the same thing. When I couldn't stand it anymore I finally decided that my life wasn't worth living and that if I continued on the path I was taking I would die. So in desperation, I finally openly admitted that I needed help, and admitted myself to a psychiatric hospital. It took years for me to overcome my feelings of inferiority (despite the fact that my intelligence scores indicated that I was a genius). In fact I still am never satisfied with anything I do, but I am a lot better and manage to laugh at my own idiocy. Oh, one more thing that the doctors discovered and that was that I suffer from a mental illness called manic-depression, now called bipolar disorder. I take medication for the condition and will for the rest of my life. I'll never be cured, but at least it allows me to live a comparatively normal life. One more thing that I've learned and I've found it wonderfully freeing. I don't try to hide the fact that I'm slightly crazy. Rather than causing people to laugh at me or ridicule me, I have found with almost no exception that people are really sympathetic. Often people who are trying to hurt me are embarrassed when I tell them that they are hurting me and that I have this damned brain that doesn't work like a normal brain should. After all, if you had a chronic disease like diabetes and had to take insulin for the rest of your life to live a normal life you probably would feel embarrassed. Also, probably no one would criticize you for your illness. Why then should an illness that affects the way your brain functions be a source of amusement or ridicule?Of course, this took me years of suffering and enormous self-control, perhaps I might even say courage, to get to the point where I no longer feel guilty and am quite comfortable telling people I have a mental illness. I hope my history will help you to help yourself. No one else can make you stop drinking or get professional help. You must find the courage to help yourself or face the alternative of failure and death. It's your choice. I wish we could talk. I really think speaking to someone who's been there would help you to see that it's not hopeless. All I can do is tell you that I wish I could help and that you help yourself!!
