butt hurt
Easily wounded pride
Butt hurt describes the state of being offended or upset over something trivial, with the implication that the reaction is disproportionate to the cause.
The term suggests wounded pride rather than legitimate grievance: He's still butt hurt about not getting invited.
Often spelled as one word: butthurt.
The noun butthurt refers to this state of petty resentment.
