How do I stop being so overly sensitive?

I am a grown woman (25 years old) and I literally cry every time someone is being mean or harsh. I get teary and sometimes can’t even say something back because as soon as I talk back I start crying (that doesn’t stop me though). I am tired of it. And as soon as they see how affected I am they literally say it more because they see how it affects me. I am tired of it. I can’t hold it back. I can’t stop myself. Tried to swallow it but it doesn’t work. And whoever hurts or is mean they literally become wayyy more meaner and harsh. Today my brother was sooo mean that i got shocked and almost cried. And then my mom started calling me the devil and I started crying and as soon as she noticed she kept saying the word over and over again. So help please, how can I stop being a cry baby?
