Depression and hate taints our views, yes...but it doesn't mean these views are entirely wrong.

Just like you say, it can make a simple comment feel like an insult. But at the same time, it can make an insult feel like being shot. In the former case, something neutral is seen as bad. In the latter case, something bad it's seen as worse, but still bad regardless.
