I have a terrible memory, but I could tell you every single time that someone made me feel inferior. In fact, I could easily repeat what they said verbatim. I will never forget when my high school acting teacher told me I had “creepy old lady hands,” and I’ll never be able to erase the memory of my grandmother commenting on my weight

Unfortunately, the words we’d most like to forget are often the ones that stick with us forever. Redditors have been recalling the cruelest things people have ever said to them, so we’ve gathered some of their most heartbreaking stories below. It might not be easy to read through these replies, but if you have similar stories of your own, know that you’re not alone.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful Not said to me directly, but I was a few feet away. My son had a liver transplant and has huge scars on his belly. He was playing at our local park where they shoot up water. Great summer fun for young kids. Another parent says, "They should cover that kid up so we don't have to see it." Thankfully, another parent spoke up snd said, "Just because that kid's gone through a lot doesn't mean he has to stay hidden to make you feel comfortable." I started to breathe evenly and smile.


Funny thing is, when kids asked him about his scars, my son would just say, "I had surgery." Then they would continue playing. Adults were more cruel.

We expect kids to have no filter and that doesn't surprise us. Adults, however, seem to have an entitlement to say whatever they wish. It should come with a solid @sskicking though.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful This will get buried but mine was hands down when a co-worker/decently close acquaintance told me to my face that maybe if I had prayed harder and put more faith in the lord my son wouldn't have died. B***h had worked with me since before I got pregnant, through the genetic dx while still pregnant, his birth, multiple surgeries etc. and knew damn well what the f**k happened and still had the gall to say that s**t. Mind you this was also like 6 years later and I'd already had two more children, countless hours of therapy, and with one statement she stabbed me in the heart all over.


In a horrid twist of fate - the eldest of her two children was k*lled in a motorcycle accident about 18 months ago. My heart broke for her and I did reach out to offer my condolences, no parent should ever experience that kind of loss.

But I would be a lying hag if I didn't admit that a hateful little voice inside me whispered to my soul 'maybe she shoulda prayed harder'.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful After discovering a past failed s*****e attempt, my parents said “How could you be so stupid? Do you know how bad that makes us look?” without once questioning how I got to that point. Maybe not the cruelest thing in the thread but it made me realize that my parents cared very little for me.


Edit: Thank you all so much for the kind words. I wanted to reply to everyone individually but I’m finding myself lacking the mental wherewithal right now. This incident was just shy of 10 years ago, and I’m in a much better place now, both literally and figuratively.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful I crashed my motorcycle quite a few years ago now. I was being stupid and didn't have my gear on. So I have some very extensive scars on my arms and legs.


I'm super insecure about them. I've worn long sleeves since they've healed.


Last summer I was feeling good about myself and not caring. So I went to the beach in a bikini. I was sitting there reading a book when a group of girls behind me starts talking about me.


There were several comments about my appearance but the one that really stuck was, "God, she should just k**l herself so we don't have to look at her."


Yeah so much for self confidence that day.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful My biological father came back into my life when I was 14 and had a girlfriend. Everything was great for a year until she made him choose between his new family, and me. I got a text message on Christmas Day saying "Father and daughter relationship not working out, all the best for your future. Please dont call me, it will cause me problems". I was devastated, but my Stepfather has been my REAL dad since I was 3 years old, and he was the best dad in the world - we lost him to Cancer in December. He was the best best man and I miss him very much.

Edit: I woke up this morning to so many lovely and kind comments and DM's about my Stepdad and I'm kind of overwhelmed by your lovely words. Thank you for letting me talk to you all about him, it means alot to be able to share the kind of man he was. I've really been struggling since he passed away, talking about him here has helped. The world was a better place when he was here with us. Thank you all :).

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful There were years I worked multiple jobs to help support us while my ex was working on her doctorate. Once she had herself a tenure track university position, she let me know I wasn’t “educated enough to be married to a professor” like herself. I have my bachelor's degree. Well, I found myself sleeping on the sofa for about a week, while looking for an apartment so I could move out. During that time, every morning as she’d greet me with the phrase “Why haven’t you k*lled yourself yet?” I'm so lucky I'm out of that marriage.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful In middle school a girl found out I had a crush on her and decided that best way to go about dealing with that was telling everyone at lunch how ugly she thought I was because I had acne at the time. Which really sucked. Because I was already *super* self conscious about it and kind of just a shy person in general.

Was made even worse because it was a small private school. So everyone knew everyone's business and there was no getting away from it. I stopped eating lunch in the lunchroom for all of that year. It sucked and the whole thing honestly made me feel like s**t for years.

As we got older and were in high school, I think she tried to get back on my good side. But she never actually apologized and honestly, that ship had already sailed for me. Too little and *way* too late.

On the last day of senior year I let all the air out of three of her tires.

The whole school knew, and everyone was being really nice to me except one girl. I believe the exact quote was “go suck your dads d**k. Oh wait you can’t, he’s dead”.

It didn’t even hurt my feelings, more of just bewildered me like who says something like that?

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful This happened to every "unattractive" girl i went to school with. Im long out of school and stuff like that. But anyways.

It was a thing in my school where guys would go up to an "unattractive" girl in a group, infront of everyone, and ask them on a date. Just when the girl would start to believe it was real and give a response, the guys would all start laughing and the one who asked would tell her it was just a joke and that "no one would ever wanna go out with something like you". And yes. They would say something. Not someone... It hurts yeah. But its not the worst, just something i thought people should hear i guess.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful Was approached by a modelling agency once in a shopping centre with my best friends. I was very shocked as I'm quite self conscious at 5ft 11" and very curvy, so it was extremely flattering. Didn't have enough confidence to do anything about it so just left it as a nice memory. My best friend was bragging on my behalf to a group of kids in school the next week and one girl just looked me up and down and said "Oh I didn't know the menswear department of 'Middle aged clothes shop' were looking for models?'... I was 15f and it k*lled my confidence for years...

My mom told me she was worried I would abuse her and my dad when they got old because I was abusive as a teenager. I agonized over that for a couple years before I finally convinced my parents to go to a therapy sessions with me, where I found out the teenage "abuse" she was referring to was, according to her, me pushing past her roughly once as a teenager and getting too many parking tickets.


I lived to please my parents for most of life, so hearing her accuse me of abuse when I'd sacrificed my own integrity for a long time to make them happy...that really hurt me.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful This wasn't really said to me, but it was said to my mom about me. I had admitted to my grandma that there was a girl that we both knew that I had a crush on (I'm a girl). I said it quick so I didn't think she'd catch it. But she did. A while later, she looked my mom dead in the eye and said something like, "It's such a shame. Your daughter WAS so pretty. Such a WASTE." So I'm a shame AND a waste... And if you think she ended there oh hoho!!! You're wrong!!! She later called my sister EXTREMELY FAT in front of me (I went up against her for that one). And right after we shunned her from our family, I found out there was a chance that she was "watching" my big bro because he, "Reminds her of her dead husband." She did way WAY worse than that to my mom. Even calling my mom a parasite in the middle of a restaurant. I'm glad she left. We almost got kicked out of our home because of her f*cked up lies.

There you have it in a nutshell. There was nothing 'wrong' with OP: he just was in the wrong place with the wrong people. If you don't fit in or feel you don't fit in, that doesn't mean you're not able to fit in anywhere else: it just means that this environment does not suit you. Go and find the place that's right for you. If you have a toxic family, find another family: they dont' have to be blood-related. If you have a toxic spouse who makes you feel small all the time? With the right partner you have a chance to bloom. People are like plants: they will flower given the right conditions.

When I work at a cps school some teens were very respectful and joked around with me. Mom was definitely sick of the bratty stuff she had to endure.

I struggled with anxiety caused bulimia a few years back... One of my best friends ( who has some self consciousness issues so she likes unhealthily skinny bodies.) told me after I recovered and gained my healthy weight back that I "Looked better when you were bulimic".... That made me feel so small and empty.

40 Times People Forgot To Keep Their Mouth Shut And Said Something Utterly Awful I was about 16 and sat on the train next to two preteen girls. The song on my MP3 player switched and therefore i could hear them. One girl pointed at me and said "That is your new boyfriend." the other girl replied "Eeeeww, no yours!".
