Problem with 傷つく: who is hurt in this dialogue?


Context: in a manga a girl kisses a boy. He is so scared that he pushes her
away. Then the girl says (I divided the sentences as they are divided in the
balloons):

> あぁ… ファーストキス？ゴメンゴメン。 **/** でも **傷つく** なぁー そんなに怯えられるなんて… **/** 性で何かあった？

I know that 傷つく is an intransitive verb, but I don't understand who is the
subject here. Which of the following translations is the correct one?

  1. If you get so scared, it means you are wounded (inside)... Did you have a bad experience with sex?

  2. I feel hurt that you got so scared... Did you have a bad experience with sex?




The subject of 傷つく ("to get hurt") is the girl herself, and your second
interpretation is correct. 怯えられる here is so-called
[迷惑の受け身](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/1777/5010), which is another
hint that the girl feels hurt.

To say "you are wounded", at least ～ている is needed because 傷つく is a punctual
(instant state-change) verb. "そんなに怯えて(い)るなんて、(心が)傷ついて(い)るんだね。" or something
similar would mean the first one.
