”You’re fat enough”.
”No man will ever love you.”
My mom denied hard proof my best friend committed suicide and said everything I told her about it was a lie, and it was a made up excuse to get bad grades, and that she was disappointed in me of how little effort I put into my life, and that me cutting myself was me being an attention whore, and that I didn't have depression because it "wasn't as bad" as what she went through. And then she said I would be a failure, and then she told my entire family I flunked every class I had, which wasn't even true. And she listened to me cry real soul shattering sobs for two hours about how I wanted to kill myself, she then told me to go take a shower because my eyeliner was all over my face from crying so hard. I then got a shower and then joined both of my parents on the front porch as they proceeded to lecture me for an additional hour and I lost all real respect for them then and there because I explained everything, I told them exactly what hurt me, how much I was struggling, told them I needed help and I was still ignored. Yeah I was thirteen when she killed herself, that was my first time mourning a death, and the way I was told about her death was that her mother called me, and after about an hour or two all of my best friends social media accounts were wiped off the internet, and since it was the end of December, Christmas to be exact, she was taken off the phone plan I knew they had in place. It was like she disappeared, nobody talked about her after that and since I didn't know her mom or family very well I wasn't invited to the funeral, in fact her family refused to keep contact with me. So that chapter of my life ended. I blamed myself for her death, for not being a better friend, for telling her we "will just talk in the morning" and then it was too late. I kept it to myself until it almost killed me. I stumbled down two flights of stairs, weakly walked to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, convinced I would do it. I hadn't eaten right in months and my muscles were incredibly weak. I had it inches from my skin and my hands were shaking and I couldn't barely hold it. I cried and I created a group chat really quick and called both of my friends and told them what was going on and they helped me. After a couple months of recovering I felt a lot better and then the one year anniversary came up and everything came crashing back down. At that point my parents didn't know anything at all because I was embarrassed at how long it took me to recover and I really wanted to "just get over it"
So I tried but I got overwhelmed and they only thought something was up when I had more than one failing grade and nothing above a C. I told them, and I was completely overlooked. I then decided, "you know what? Fuck it." And I stopped believing they cared, and I pulled my shit together by revoking my trust and true respect for them, knowing the true them created so many opportunities and gave me the ability to read their moves instead of blindly trusting them and it's led me to learn how to get some of what I want no matter the circumstance and it's made me so good at mirroring people to the point I don't even know if my personality is real and then my doctor told me I was autistic and so much shit started to make sense. I psychoanalyze everything about everyone and all of my emotions seem like a logical response more than a chemical reaction of the brain because I'm not sure if I feel emotions.
Now I've recovered from an eating disorder, and have been self harm free for a year now. Still have lingering depression. I have clinical insomnia too.
Honestly I think I might have PTSD but I haven't talked to a professional since I got diagnosed with my insomnia.
My parents get falsified respect since I live under their roof but they won't have control over me anymore the day I turn 18 and move out. People are already in on the plan.
Their need to live in denial has led them to lie to themselves to the point of being incapable of being honest. It has also made them spiritually negligent. God is not in them. You'll never know Him through them. Theirs will be a more dire poverty than what you currently know.
They are conservative Christian parents. They don't rule out of kindness. So I don't believe their actions to be very god like. In their poor upbringing it forced me away from any church of any kind. I screamed into the sky begging for answers and heard nothing but deafening silence. I looked in the Bible for answers and came across a few verses about bastard children and how they were denied entrance from heaven. I put down my Bible and stopped looking to God for I already know my fate he has given me.
How odd you should think that. Given that the line to the Savior came from a child that Judah bore with Tamar, in spite his regretting it.
They don't care about the balance between law and compassion. They care about appearances. And for that, they betray themselves. They show neither justice nor mercy, for they have abandoned both - and you - to vanity.
"I only married to you because you are pregnant"
Are you still with him? ALSO.. I wanted to put some form of acknowledgment, but a 'like' or 'helpful' emote isn't really appropriate I feel..
I'm so pleased it turned out all well for you.. It must have cut to the core when you heard that! And huge congrats on your new baby. :D
I hope he is treating you better now.
Me: "Have you heard from X lately? We were supposed to work on some project, and I haven't been able to get a hold of her. Is she okay? Just need to hear back if she's still interested, or if I should get another teammate."
Her boss: "Don't worry, she's fine. I'll let her know you asked."
Me: "Thanks."
A few days later...
School office: "We're deeply concerned about your mental health..."
Me: "WTF?"
School: "Also, police will be contacting you..."
Me: "Again, WTF?"
Lady officer: "Why don't you just admit you're some creep? We're going to prove it, one way or another!"
Me: "WTF are you even going on about? All I asked was if so and so were still interested in helping write a few panels of a comic book! All I got was runaround, so I proceeded without help. It's not some violent porno, it's a frickin' Sims superhero origin story!"
Lady officer: "In-between terrorizing children."
Me: "BS! What children? This is insane! You're all mad!"
My own dad: "You must not have a clue how to talk to women..."
Me: "How do I talk to her at all, if she's never there? That barber is a lying sack out to ruin my life on lies, and you attack me?"
Other time: "Say I'm here to see if Y got that package my dad sent. He's asking for a confirmation."
Random Asian at campus ministry center: "She's not here."
Me: "Thanks anyway."
Campus ministry center pastor blocks my exit from parking lot: "I'm concerned as to why you're asking about Y."
Me: "I was asked to stop in, ad and ask if she'd received the package, so I could relay confirmation back to sender."
Minister: "I'm concerned you're trying to get a girlfriend."
Me: "I've never met this gal, and have nothing of the sort going on. Why would you even think that? I'm just doing my job! Stop blockading me!"
Minister: "I can't be letting you flirt with these women."
Me: "Have you gone mad? Have you heard nothing I just said?"
=======================
Yeah, not just insults, but insane accusations and threats, as well as trying to trap.
I got in a fistfight with my stepdad right before my 18th birthday and stayed away for years. During this time I worked extremely hard to build a successful career. I was proud of what I had accomplished.
When my stepdad died I temporarily moved back in with my mom to get the house ready to sell.
She was worried about the mortgage, I told her not to worry I could easily cover it.
She looked doubtful so I showed her my pay stub.
Her response, I'll never forget.
"You can't be worth that much."
No big deal, it hurt at the time, but it also made me realize that was her way and she has always been like that. I could ether accept it and forgive or leave and never see her again.
I still talk to my mom, I just don't respect her opinion anymore.
Realizing your parents are human with human problems.

The person whom I thought to be my best friend in High School and the one I supported unconditionally because I considered her like a sister, she was supposedly shy and insecure said to me this “the problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence” 🙄 I didn’t know deep inside she disliked me/hated me so much and I did nothing but motivate her to stay in school and graduate.🤷🏻♀️
That nobody would ever love me cause I'm so weird. Got told this from family members many times as child
Aww. They were definitely wrong!
I guess one was from a close friend who basically said that they could never see me in a relationship.
My parents constantly assuming that im gay or just going to be alone for the rest of my life. But as that's not enough for them they now want me to bring someone to my sister's wedding.
My closest friend she called me a girly guy to this random guy. When saying that we are just friends I don't know why she needed to say something like that when sayjng we are friends should be enough. When I asked about it as well her first reaction was to laugh nothinf like saying it wasn't meant or they were sorry. They then said we should talk about it face to face. And any time I asked if they were free they said they were too busy which I know they were. But then they recently said that I need to just let it go. They also forgot my birthday last year which did hurt cause I'm not someone who thinks I deserve to celebrate it.
And I do try to stay in touch and make plans which just get cancelled last minute but she says she still wants to make plans and misses me so I'm really really confused.
It was back in the days I was at school getting bullied almost every day. It wasn't the horrible things they said about me that hurt the most, it was what they said they would do if I told anyone about being bullied by them.
They said they would come round my house at night and set fire to it killing my parents as they slept.
I finally got my own back on them before leaving school (after years of torture) by putting two of them in hospital.. one on life support, but their words still haunt me to this day.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I don't how people can be so cruel. Congrats on fighting back though! That's amazing :)
Words cut deeper than any knife
@Blackcosmo Thank you. I wouldn't change any of it even if I could.. I'm the person I am today because of them, and I like who I am.
@Guardian45 So very true.
@Pinay_ako. As do I. It's why I never stand by and knowingly let it happen.
Most recently, the meanest thing I ever heard from someone who purported to be my friend occurred when I was waxing rhapsodic about Matthew McConaughey and Idris Alba and someone else I thought was a sexy guy. The woman I was telling this too, in her late 50s, a few years younger than me said,
"Aren't you over ALL THAT?" meaning aren't you over sexual attraction to men?
I was stunned at her ignorance and thoughtlessness. She has a husband who she's indicated she is very sexual with. Because I'm single, I have no sexual feelings or interests? I was cut to the quick.
We are no longer friends, I don't think I need to say.
Random people telling me to kms or telling me I’m a wh*re is hurtful and all, but the most hurtful words have come from family. My brother telling me that I’m faking my illnesses for attention, because he’s never been chronically sick in his life and he couldn’t understand. He didn’t believe me until he visited me in hospital when I almost died in 2020. My father telling me that I was faking my depression after I had been raped at a young age, because apparently “teenagers can’t have depresssion”. My mother doubting that I’d been raped when I told her what had happened, asking “are you sure you didn’t just consent and then regret it after?”.
Used to date this girl, we broke up, she wanted to keep talking and her life was going sideways. I wanted to help her. She got into her car shit faced one day and I told her if she didn't let someone drive her home, I wasn't talking to her anymore.
Didn't talk to her after she drove off that night until I got a call from a rehab and she was going through her little script apologizing and after getting to know her so well, let's just say she was a bad bulshitter. Like I was just another step of her getting the fuck out of there.
I didn't know how to react. I really wanted to be wrong but it just kept sounding more obvious to me. I sat in the snow crying because of how lonely I felt and how someone who I loved lost themself like that.
All this said by my narcissist-sociopathic ex boyfriend after many years I've wasted:
''You'll never find anyone as great as me. I'm nearly perfect.''
''You finding someone else, you're 34 already, LOL, ok give it a year, LOL.''
''You're not ready for marriage.''
These things said to me in 7th grade (verbal bullying):
''You don't need to a Halloween mask. You already have one.''
''You look just like Anne Frank. She was ugly too.''
A couple classmates shrieking with an ''Ewwww and Ekkkkk'' everytime I passed by
''Booger-face, Booger-girl''
''(My name) is the most ugliest girl'' while I'm waiting in line; a girl said that
I've always felt that purposely denying a woman marriage or insulting her physical features is the equivalent of calling a man a coward (or the word pussy) or mocking his provider capacities. I felt my ego and pride as a girl/woman got destroyed right there.
However, here is the happy ending:
I've recovered and know my worth. I don't need and never needed to please someone that doesn't like me for who I am. Lastly, I've been dating my new boyfriend for 6 months now, last year when I was still 34... the very same age he laughed.
So many to choose from so I’ll just pick one for this comment. I remember in freshman year of high school I had started to get hairier eye brows so I shaved them because it was not as painful as plucking them, to help separate them. Anyways a girl was introducing me to a bunch of her friends and right after the introduction, some kid just got in my face and said “…hmmmm, do I detect shaving?…”. Referring to my eyebrows. Few words but cut me deeper than I would have thought. Basically I didn’t say anything after and left for the concession stand as soon as possible. Funny but it hurt at the time.
I used to be a master at creating emotional nuclear weapons (that is until I met my wife who is an INFJ and can target your specific vulnerabilities for maximum impact).
But back to me:
Me to ex1 "I don't love you" and "I lied about loving you"
I can't quite recall anything else
"I wish you were never born" was the most hurtful thing I ever heard in my life from my abusive ex best friend. "You deserved everything that happened to you because you're a loser" also hit pretty close. But being told someone wished I was dead was the worst thing especially since I was so insecure and vulnerable. I thought my worth was based on my best friend's idea of me and I had to listen to her or she would blackmail me. I'm glad that's over now and I can live my life in peace.
Good for you. She was NEVER your friend. I've met a few of those people in my life. The trick is to ID them before they become friends. My gut helped me with that!
@Guardian45 I agree but I was a naive 8 year old when I first met her. She was the same age as me and seemed very nice. Only until 2 years later she became toxic and stayed like that for another 2 years.
Back when I was a bit overweight the guy I was with told me no one would ever want me because of it, that men only want a skinny girl. Then again he’s say that and the next day tell me he’s never been more attracted to someone like his is with me🙃
That I’m dumb and care only about myself so men will only use me because no one wants someone like me.
I hope you DTMFer!
He ended up leaving me lol but I am happy he did, a lot better off
"I consider you average."
And for those who don't get it, that's identical to saying my entire existence doesn't matter and that my life is worth less than dirt. I do NOT consider myself insignificant, worthless, or the most replaceable valueless thing a human being can be. Only two things offend me, and that's one of them.
When I was a teen, my mom said to me (backed up by my awful stupid exstepfather) "You will end up all alone because of the way you are" .. that one I remember as it was yesterday
but she does say other stuff over the years of how 'horrible' and 'disturbed' I am as a person, just because I don't let people walk all over me
"you don't deserve my respect" (narcissistic family member)
"You are a lying ungrateful slut who deserves nothing. You don't know how to love. I gave you love and you shove me away" (stalker guy who convinced himself that I was his girlfriend)
Yikes!😳
@Guardian45 yeah for real. I've known some crazy people in my life
You don't need their toxic negative energy. Steer clear.
Maybe some other time. Lately it seems like I have been remmbering a bunch of painful times in my life with these questions its okay it doesn't fase me any more its just even if I told you the most painful words some one said to me its not their fault she had all right to say what she didn
Me, having a rough time: .. and I hate feeling so bad because I know it's not true but i feel like it proves the stereotype that women are more emotionally weak than men. I hate that.
"It's true tho, but..."
This was a few days ago. Broke me, and I couldn't tell my friends about it cuz it'd prove them right.
I don't care about hormones or something. I don't care if I'm on my period. No one should be called more emotional than the opposite gender just because they're crying. Especially at a time when they're unstable as I was.
How would you like to be called something sexist when you're already weak and insecure. No excuses, that was stupid of my friends to do.
And I will NEVER throw that at another crying man or woman as I live.
"Kill yourself"
"Get this kid away from me"
This one would happen sometimes when I would be trying to talk to someone and they wouldn't want to be seen with me because I was just some wierdo or something.
I watched a video on YouTube about heaven the guy said that when you go to heaven you get a new body and you live happy, pain free and you don't remember your life on earth, so that means that my nan who passed away doesn't even know I exist and that broke me more than me being told she'd gone.
"We are over and please don't contact me unless it is important or i will block you... you are wreak, i can't handle you "
He said this knowing how hurt i will get...
What hurt me was the fact that we are in relationship and just a small fight and he give us so easily... he gave him a second chance and he broke me all over again
