taking it personally

one who sees or hears something, be it a comment or picture (usually online, because this person has no REAL life) and interprets the meaning to be directed at them; and must retaliate in the most unthinkable ways and defend themselves to the utmost degree (lies and exaggerations included) all the while going to sleep alone every night.

Damn, Lise seems to be TAKING IT PERSONALLY ~ must be because she is a goat-necked snaggle toothed troll... And we said so...
