It's an anxiety thing; the actual name is "rejection sensitivity dysphoria": https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24099-rejection-sensitive-dysphoria-rsd
A lot of AuDHD people suffer it. Great example, I started a business and I've gotten 99% positive feedback on the product from dozens of people, but a handful of negative comments and two of my best friends didn't like it, and I've actually considered giving up entirely because of that.
Which is insane. I love my product, I'm very happy with it... but my buddies not liking it makes me very sad on a whole bunch of levels.
Also I did delete my old account and comments, precisely because as MagicShel said above: it had existed long enough to be a liability. It's not as big a deal here as on Reddit though, you can export your preferences and get back to the same subscriptions and blocks very easily on any new account!
I'll also say that for people who experience that intentionally building up distress tolerance is super valuable
