Ya, that’s a terrible insult. Probably the worst one.

The worst insults come from someone you care about, otherwise I find them comical. Embrace them and move on.

There’s a guy named st. Francis of Assisi who used to accept all criticism and actually thanked people and embraced insults
If someone told him he was foolish he would have thanked them for their honesty and added that they have spoken correctly about him. He was that humble.

St. Francis even blessed animals and called them “brothers and sisters”. He’s a cool guy.

He’s definitely cool. But we must refrain from talking more about him since it’s related to religion.

I’ve been accused of faking my symptoms to get sympathy.
I’ve been told I was a useless burden.
The most insulting to me is when people insinuate I’m pretending to struggle with things just to be difficult.
Like “quit playing stupid, I KNOW you know this!”

Its confusing to others and myself that my arms and legs work so well yet I live on disability.
That’s usually how I explain it

I’ve been told that I enjoy being ill because I don’t listen to this weird advice this person was giving me. Wanting me to take dodgy herbs that I don’t trust and such

I’ve been called: fat, ugly, stupid and non creative. And all this by my supposed best friend. Needless to say, she is no longer my best friend.

I was once told I was a sh*tty human being but I don’t even know what I did to deserve such an insult, no one else has ever said anything like that to me before. I think it says more about the person that said it than it says about me.

I was once was told that I was a piece of garbage.
That I belonged to live in a garbage can.
It was all so shocking to me as it was said by this quiet unassuming girl who always stays out of trouble.
It was during middle school.
We were both by our bikes.
She was with another female friend.
Till this very day it affects me.

I’ve also had this insult said to me as well. People accused me of using my psychosis to gain attention and said I like being sick.
…no one likes being sick, seriously.

I hear you @Wave some words cut deeper than others, and it’s the unexpected and unprovoked ones that haunt me too.

my last ‘boyfriend’ said some things that really affected me not just cos of what they were but in the manner that he said them, like with so much conviction
after having told me so many positive things when in a good mood

I’ve had people from my sister to my former friend’s girlfriend call me ugly. Numerous other insults by various people throughout the years.
I stopped caring what people think of me a long time ago. Not worth the aggravation. If they ever need my help though I may choose not to help them.

That’s horrible I’m sorry you had to go through that a woman once laughed at me when I looked at her body and looked at mine. It was like she was saying I was built terrible

A boy called me a “hairy monkey”, in middle school. I have been shaving my arms, legs, and almost my entire body since then… Insults like that really affect a person, for a long time. I don’t think I can ever let the hair grow naturally on my arms, ever again. I’m self conscious about it.
My sister called me “flat as a board” (referring to my chest), when I was a teenager. I was really self conscious for a long time, because of her insult. I wore very padded push-up bras for a long time. Then one day, I thought to myself, women come with all kinds of boobie sizes, shapes, and colors. I should be proud of my perky chest! I now wear bras with light padding or no padding at all (just wire support and lace). I like my body (including chest) now. Small breasted woman can be sexy and I am now proud of my small chest and small frame.
