tomarse algo a mal = to take something to heart; to take something badly
(tomarse algo muy a pecho)

estar a mal con alguien = to be on bad terms with somebody

Also
tomarse a mal un consejo = to take a piece of advice badly
¡no te lo tomes tan a mal! = don't take it so badly!

estoy a mal con mi vecino = I'm on bad terms with my neighbour
