get bent out of shape
Take it personally
To get bent out of shape is to become upset, agitated, or offended, usually over something minor: Don't get bent out of shape—I was just kidding.
The image suggests a normally straight object warped by stress.
Often used dismissively to suggest someone is overreacting: He got all bent out of shape about a parking spot.
