The diary sighting may not have been so traumatic and impactful had it been only Raavi and Dev! Their past is a reality, and it may not have hit Shiva so badly if he wasn't lurking around as a caricature Evil Devil in their love story.
Third-wheeling can hurt a lot and it puts a significant pressure of not being good enough on the person. It's as if Shiva was a part of her world, yet ignored.
He has recently found his growing feelings, and when you are giddy headed in love, you tend to attach meaning to even the most trivial connections.
Here, despite their sordid history, maybe in some corner of his heart-a sense of familiarity and connection overwhelmed him.
That feeling is lost in the reality of how Raavi saw him all these years. He was just there as a trivial part of her fairy tale!
Hate is an attachment, too, so for Shiva, his feelings have been extreme. Being reduced to a trivial nothing can hurt very badly!
