Dictionary.com defines thin-skinned as "sensitive to criticism, reproach, or rebuff; easily offended; touchy." [1]
This is how I would use it in a sentence: The more confident one is in one's capabilities and the more comfortable one is with one's status in society, the less thin-skinned one is.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said President Obama was "thin-skinned." [2] Was she right?
