I think what PS means by 'take it personally' is that you feel that these things have happened because you are a cunt and an unlovable, horrible person. It's a genuine belief that makes complete sense to you. What you mean is taking responsibility - 'I've fucked up so I'm going to put it right'.
Not necessarily the same thing, and the difference between responses to the stressor in this situation (ie why some people man up and get on with it and others blame themselves) is still not a fully understood field. It's probably to do with genetics, maybe to do with stress, maybe to do with personal circumstance, maybe a mixture.
