Don't take it seriously. The person upsetting you is not worth the heartache.

It means "don't take it too seriously".

a grain of salt is so tiny and minimal that whatever is bothering you should be treated the same.

Essentially it is skepticism. Don't trust it completely. Not quite complete, you've got to add a little something to take it more in the direction it should be. like salting food.
