“I Will Never Get Over That”: 35 People Share The Most Hurtful Words Ever Said To Them I have a daughter with an extremely complicated illness. Almost lost her to it twice when she was almost 3 and again 6 months later. In-between, this was 15 years ago, I broke down and wept, being so worried about her and also how distant my wife had become from me as well. After I settled down my wife told me that me crying like that had made me less attractive.

My daughter is very stable now and I've been divorced for several years.

“I Will Never Get Over That”: 35 People Share The Most Hurtful Words Ever Said To Them When I was about 7, one of the kids in my class was teasing me because “you have a fat mum”. I was so upset that someone could say something hurtful about the best person in my world. I convinced myself that they must just be jealous because getting cuddles from someone skinny must be difficult because of their pointy elbows, whereas cuddles from my mum where like cuddling an amazing powdery smelling cloud. They still are.

“I Will Never Get Over That”: 35 People Share The Most Hurtful Words Ever Said To Them I had a theatre teacher/“director” pull me aside after a show that I totally spaced a queue/line (it honestly was a super insignificant line, and the other actor improvised very well) and she straight up told me:

“Putting you in this show was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. You’re a disappointment”

She got fired 2 years later and went to jail for a couple of years for banging my best friend's cousin who was a 15-year-old student.

I went to college and got an Associate's. Now, 15 years later, I'm returning to college at 35 to get an (unrelated) bachelor's degree. I start in September. I am not stupid and it's not just luck...

She was very kind and that wasn’t meant to be hurtful at all. That comment caused me much hurt and anguish over last 14 years.

This one is a little...idk what to think. Reading the rest of the original post, the OP says she has no income of her own. Her husband works from home, and there are pets, etc. to consider, which makes you immediately feel terrible for her, but there's also a bit of weirdness on her part as well. The OP's husband is definitely a turd, but he's also not trying to keep her there. According to one of her responses, when the husband refused to go to counseling (she managed to get $300 for that), she went to stay with mum for a while to see if he would "miss her." From what she is saying/describing, he would probably be happy if she left. It actually seems like he is actively trying to get her to leave by being emotionally abusive but she keeps trying to work it out. I've never been in this situation, so I can't begin to understand the psychology behind victim & abuser, but I keep getting the feeling that there's something...off(?) here.

I don’t remember any specific sentences… There probably are some that I chose to forget. I was bullied throughout middle school (American living in country “A”). There was no reason for it, but fear of foreigners is baked into the culture there. I was always outcast for no reason. I became good at everything, and I mean everything. I did everything I could to be accepted. But I there was one thing I couldnt be best at, with that being sports/physical activity. That was weaponized against me for years. Then later, I was diagnosed with asthma, and I was like thank god it’s not my fault. Turns out it didn’t mean anything. A few months later at gym we were running laps, and the teacher asked the group of bullies to count to make sure I did enough. Everyone knew I had asthma, and everyone knew how those people treated me. So I do it, and they say I didnt do enough. The gym teacher, yells at me and makes me do the whole thing again. I was dizzy and everything was blurry at the end (part 1)

And it took me at least 15 minutes to catch my breath. This is just one of many similar stories. I was bullied for every flaw I showed. We had to leave the country which is a whole other pile of trauma that I wont get into. I attempted suicide 3 times. Each time more drastic then the last. I should have died but I didnt. Today I now live in country “B” and I am looking back at all this. I am now conventionally attractive, especially for my age, good at almost everything (yay?) and have pushed myself to overcome my asthma. But unfortunately I do not feel better. I just (re)started high school (long story) and am in an amazing class. But, every day when I look in the mirror I only see my flaws. Whenever I make the smallest mess up, I beat myself up relentlessly. I overthink every situation until it is at it’s worst. I ignore all of my strengths because I tell myself everyone sees me as stupid, because I don’t speak language “B” fluently yet. I have lived here for 3 months and (part 2)

It's taken me years to reverse the little voice in my head from the emotional abuse from my mother. She was physically abusive as well but the emotional abuse has taken me YEARS to deal with.

I was six years old, had recently lost all my hair to alopecia, wouldn't be diagnosed as dyslexic for another three years, and yet according to my teacher I was "stupid and lazy".

For reasons I don't know my violin teacher had a strong dislike for me. I mean - I was literally a kid (I started when I was eight) and only saw her twice a week, to this day I have no idea what her problem with me was. After several years of her being rude to me, I finally asked my parents if I could quit violin lessons and they agreed. After my very last lesson with that teacher her final words to me were "You know, you quitting was probably for the best because even after all these years of lessons I still can't tell if you have any talent at all." I WAS THIRTEEN. I hope you rot in hell lady.

I got 2. My mom would drink and continously tell me how she wishes she would've had an abortion, or that I should kill myself. The other was a great friend that after my girlfriend of 14 years passed away from a pulmonary embolism told me I should quit being depressed and just get over it.

I can pin point the moment my struggle with ED started to when my mom said "huh, you're starting to get fat." a week after I quit boxing for the first time.

A few years after our son died, my mother-in-law was questioning why my husband still felt depressed. She said, "Aren't you over that by now?!"

According to my incubator it was my fault my parents divorced (I was in my mid 20s and had been out of the house since she kicked me out at age 18). The last conversation we had I told her I was going NC, and she assured me that without her I would end up on the street, homeless and a bag lady. I was early 30s, happily married with kids and a healthy income. She projected a lot. It's been 18 years since we spoke and I've never regretted the decision.

These things are just awful things to say to people i could never tell a child any of these things that these people heard as children. When my kids were younger and people started to bully them I always told them . people are mean to others because they are insecure and have things goin on with their lives that have nothing to do with them . So when people started to harras them I told them to reply. " Im sorry that your life is so bad that you have to make fun of me." This has shut many people down and my children werent really bullied after that comment . it sounds harsh but there is alot of truth to it.

The most hurtful things my dad said to me is that I have no common sense.

When my son was a newborn, we were struggling financially and I asked my parents to borrow some money. My mom told me I should divorce my husband so I can get on welfare. I was speechless. I doubt my mom remembers saying that to me but I will never forget it. My son is now 14 years old, my husband and I are about to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary, and we each make six figures...so joke's on them.

Not hurtful, because there'd be nothing wrong if she were correct, but my mom asked me if I was a lesbian because I'd never had a boyfriend. I was in my late 20s. Turns out I'm asexual...so she was closer than she realized.

If it was possible I’d ban the word “ugly”. It is one of the foulest words in the dictionary.

"I don't want to stand next to the dog!" -- My 5th grade bully when the teacher asked him to stand next to me. F**k you, Cedric. I hope you have a daughter who is just like me.

Why would you wish a child who's a good person (like you) on an asshat like Cedric? Wish one like him on him.
