There isn't a practical difference between those when there's no consensus about what's alienating
It seems that the consensus that reasonable people are closing in on is that once someone takes the effort to tell you something is alienating, it probably is, and that saying "lighten up" or "grow a thick skin" is probably the wrong response.
Also, "brittle people", really? Most people would be seen as brittle if the right pressure were applied to them.
