Egg in the backseat

Someone who is emotionally fragile, sensitive, or going through a rough patch — you have to handle them with extra care, patience and understanding, like driving carefully because there’s an egg sitting in your backseat that you do not want to crack.
Example 1:
“Go easy on Jake today, he’s an egg in the backseat.”

Example 2:
“I’ve been an egg in the backseat all week — just trying not to fall apart.”

Example 3:
“She might snap if you push too hard. Total egg in the backseat energy.”

Example 4:

“I’ve been feeling like an egg in the backseat lately — one wrong bump and I might lose it.”
