To feel so hurt after a small push?

Looking for advice but not sure about posting details.

Can people please advise how they'd feel/react if partner pushed them during an argument, but the push wasn't hard/ didn't cause damage? This has never happened before and I'm quite upset, but wondering if I'm overreacting as it wasn't hard at all.

That depends. Pushed you during a purely verbal argument? Totally unacceptable. Shoved you away because you were invading their personal space and/or getting physical and wouldn't back off? I see that as a very different scenario.

I was trying to leave the room during argument, and he blocked the doorway and pushed me. It's the first time anything like this has happened at all. I am not injured or hurt. I just feel upset.
