I don't prima facie see anything wrong with suggesting that unusually thin-skinned people should stop being so thin-skinned.

It's that you then think of them as lesser or failed humans. This is an error I eventually realised was an error.

Well, sure, if you do go on to think of them that way then you're doing it wrong. I'm not suggesting that anyone change how thin-skinned they are, though.
