What makes someone more emotionally sensitive to hurtful words and vise versa ?
Psychological trauma can induce triggers that can be activated by saying certain things to people. For example, you can insult somebody in regards to the money he makes and he wouldn't care, but mess with his mom (insult) and you'll see what happens.

A word operates at the psychologica level, it is purely the realm of human thought. Thus, I think that what determines how much of a trigger is something to you depends on the projected meaning of that word in relation to your lived experience.
genetics, personality is genetic
This is a viewpoint that is valid, but highly reductionistic as it doesn't account for nuances such as psychological trauma induced by people like your parents for example.
Okay but why ?
Because "you" are not a single identity Raul. In reality, the mind of Raul is more akin to a committee of thoughts where there is the causality of thoughts more common that you call you, but there can also be other parts such as the Id or the Superego. These other parts that operate at the unconscious level can also get offended. Though the categorization of these things is highly dependent on the psychoanalytic theory applied to the mind. For Freud there is the aforementioned, for Jung you have the Anima or the Animus, the shadow, etc.

Is there a simplified version of the last part ?

I think that every human is split into two: the conscious (what you call yourself) and the unconscious.

Consciously, you might hold a belief about something, but deep down (unconsciusly) you might hold a completely totally different idea.

You might of yourself as strong, but deep down you are still that scared traumatized child.

The mind works like a committe like this:



Today while meditating I felt what felt like several voices speaking in my head. I guess in this case it would be more appropriate to say that instead of voices, it could surely be the same voice, but speaking in terms of different emotions. There was Fear speaking, there was another one giving advice, and those are the ones I remember. Later, after I had stopped meditating, Motivation said that I should not let life beat me. It is as if one is not really the architect of one's thoughts, as if the emotions do the thinking for one.

The question “What am I?” came up. If I wasn't those voices, then who was I?, am I nothing?, “I” never existed? My body began to contort, and I felt weird. It wasn't pleasureable to be honest, but I did not feel any sadness nonetheless.
All of this goes back to the so called "the illusion of the self", that is, the illusory belief that life is centralized around the actor we call ourselves which we posit to have inherent existence, an idea that many buddhist schools of thought try to realize as false by means of meditation and studying and reflecting about Shunyata.
