Let’s talk❤️
What’s the Most Hurtful Thing Someone Has Ever Said to You? Let’s Laugh (and Cry) Together!
Alright, folks, let’s stir things up a bit. I’m calling out those soul-crushing, jaw-dropping, “did they really just say that?” moments—the ones we still think about in the shower 10 years later, plotting our ultimate comeback. What’s the most hurtful thing someone’s ever said to you?
I’ll start, because fair is fair. One time, someone looked me dead in the eyes and said: “You have the personality of an overcooked potato.” AN. OVERCOOKED. POTATO. Like, excuse me?! At least compare me to mashed potatoes or something versatile and comforting. But no, they went straight for the dry, flavorless insult that haunts me to this day.
Or there’s my friend, who once got told by a teacher: “You’re the reason I drink.” The TEACHER. Imagine doing your homework and still being blamed for someone’s Merlot habit.
But here’s the thing—those words hurt then, but now? Now we laugh about them (and also secretly hope karma got those people back). That’s the beauty of sharing these moments: they lose their power over you when you can throw a little humor at them and share them with people who get it.
So, hit me with your stories. Let’s turn this into a group roast of the most ridiculous, hurtful things we’ve ever heard. You can go deep if you want, but even the small, dumb insults count—like that time someone said your new haircut made you look like a “vegetable emoji” (that one hurt a little, not gonna lie).
And hey, if your story is truly wild, I’ll pin it as the Hall of Fame Hurtful Comment. So, let’s hear it: What’s the thing someone said to you that still makes you go, “WOW, okay, thanks for that”? Bonus points if it’s funny, weird, or just downright petty. Let’s keep it light, and maybe—just maybe—we’ll all feel a little better after laughing at the absurdity of it all.
Alright, your turn—don’t leave me hanging! Btw i will post this in another forum just to reach more people.
There are two occasions which spring to mind.
The first one happened when I was at school. I must have been 12 years old. It was a chaotic class; we were baking something, and everyone needed help with something. I was feeling anxious for some reason (can't remember why), and I went to ask for help from my teacher. She said something along the lines of, "I don't have the energy to deal with your silly problems now". Those words still ring in my head after all these years.
The second one happened when my ex broke up with me. One thing she told me stood out: she didn't think the presents I had given her for her birthday and for Christmas were "feminine" enough, implying that she hadn't been happy with them. My thought process had always been that she knew better the types of "feminine" things she enjoyed, so I'd get her something thoughtful but different. It stung. How long had she felt unhappy with the presents I'd given her without mentioning it to me?
These things may seem ridiculous, but they're ones which came to my mind immediately.
@brightaday that's such a weird comment ngl
I guess the most hurtful thing someone said to me is, when I didn't feel very well in class, my teacher told me they wouldn't pick me up or call an ambulance if something happens to me, and I am still shocked to this day how on Earth do you say that as a living person, let alone teacher? I wasn't hurt by his comment but I was very worried, and I was wondering, was he thinking that about other students as well, or just me.
Hey @brightaday, the worst thing a person I love said to me is, "You're ugly and nobody will even approach you with a stick."
@brightaday @brightaday someone I knew who unfortunately died a few years ago once said to me "I know people who can get you killed". Now I know that sounds harsh, but they weren't ever going to do it. They were angry most of the time, not just with me, but with the world in general. I did do something naughty by the way, but nothing bad enough to warrant what they said. Deep down they weren't bad, just angry. I did have some good times with them, but they didn't know how to communicate properly. RIP!
@brightaday several times a week, i'm told by at least two people who I work with, who are in management positions above me, that 'they have way more experience than me' and essentially tell me to sit down be quiet. I've been working professionally since 1999!
I was having trouble with my online school assignments and I was having a one on one with my Teacher. After the online conference ended I was confronted by my Mother and she told me right in front of my Dad that I was one of the WORST child she has ever had! I was truly astonished and taken aback.
Looking back at it now I wish I would've said something to her to combat the insult.
