The worst insult

[mattttherman3]

What is the worst insult someone has ever said to you?

For me, it has happened twice. First time, one of my friends was being pretty selfish for the past year, only coming to hang out if certain people were there, only if someone drove him there so he could drink, making plans and bailing on them within a half hour of when they were supposed to happen. I called him out and he went on a rant about how he hoped that I would grow up to be someone of worth(in effect, calling me worthless). That hurt. It hurt more than when he passed over me for his wedding party(I was there when he and his wife met, I was his oldest friend, he told me we were best friends, etc, etc). He did apologize for the comment, but I know what he really thinks.

The second time, a friend of mine was drunk and called me worthless because I am an Atheist. He was drunk, but he never apologized and I have not forgotten.

Your turn!

I don't take insults. I give 'em.

Even then, nothing that is all that special or creative, or showing that the person speaing them is all that swift to begin with. That includes anyone that has ever done so online to me, like here.

The worst insult I've taken was intended as a compliment. A girl in High School said the following:

"I like you, [itsthesheppy]. You're just... so hard to take seriously! You have a funny face."

When I reacted with horror, she said:

"No, no! I mean, when I look at you, I just want to laugh!"

It was a dark day.

One of the worst was one I received on these very forums. I was kinda sad and went on here moaning about my relationships with some people, including someone I liked. Bottom line was, a guy said something that hurt because:

1. He was totally right.
2. How blunt he was.

If I ever met him again on here, I'd like to have a word because of how insulting he was. Even if it was sort of justified.
I know his username, and I'm waiting.

Somebody once called me 'sweet'. Sweet! I was a brooding angry 18 year old and they called me sweet! Why I went and wrote an angry letter to them I did. Furious.

One time my mother told me I was an asshole. It was totally justified and hilarious... but it was still coming from my MOM!

EDIT: She also wrote in my best friend's birthday card, "Happy Birthday ******!"

She has a weird sense of humor >.>

I was once told I have the right personality to carry off arrogance. That was the best insult I have been given.

 

[Calibanbutcher]

I got a whole list of charming fairy-words and sprinkles incredibly hurtful words thrown at me by my last gf, who made good use of the fact that I had shared my deepest fears and insecurities with her, which in turn enabled her to play to every single one of them in only one elongated rant.
That was probably the worst I have ever been hurt.



NOPE, there was something worse:
When my last gf accused me of simply wanting to use the death of a friend of mine to argue with religious people some more.
Nothing has ever hurt like that, and hopefully nothing will ever hurt like that again. I had not only lost a friend, no, I was also accused by the one person in the world that I trusted most, of being so despicable as to use the death of said friend as an occasion to debate people over an unrelated subject.

Hmm, the only one I can remember is when my father called me a "stupid *****". Probably not the worst thing anyone has ever said to me but it kinda stuck =/

 

[BeoW0lfe]

Well this one time I was in a TV and this shadow BeoW0lfe appeared and started spilling all of my secrets to my teammates. Oh, wait, my bad.

Insults to my face don't hurt as much as when I was little, (probably because of my depression I grew a backbone of steel) but if you don't insult me to my face, it seriously gets under my skin.

 

[Froggy Slayer]

I normally don't give a fuck about insults, but if someone calls me 'pathetic', it really stings. Especially coming from my mother.

 

[Zantos]

It really annoys me when someone calls me lazy. Maybe I could be more productive, but at the end of the day if shit needs doing I put in what I need to in order to get it done. Yet I know a handful of people that, no matter how well I try and describe it, seem to take me having to let them know I'm not going out with them because shit needs doing as "I just want to stay at home."

I suppose part of the gripe is that it's usually something really tedious I'm having to stay in to do, and I'd much rather be going out.

 

[staika]

Honestly the only thing that gets under my skin is if someone says that they know me better than I do. There is no one in existence who knows me better than I know myself, it's just a little annoying but still annoying. Other than that I don't really get insulted or take insults seriously, most people who insult me are doing it in jest. I guess I just see all insults like that now

Someone once called me a cotton-headed ninnymuggins.



I cried for a week.

That... depressingly true for me too. I'm wary about sharing things now because I know people will easily use it against me just to be spiteful. Especially when they're cruel enough to mock you about an aspect of yourself that genuinely scares you.

OT: This isn't the worst, but I got called shallow and materialistic twice and it completely baffles me. I'm one of the least shallow people around. I don't own anything nice and never buy myself gifts because I'm always buying for others. I think sometimes people just reach in the dark to insult you.

The one I can't fathom the most is people who call me horrible or a bad person. I'm no angel and I can be an absolute nightmare of a ***** when I'm faced with people I don't like but I'm not horrible. Being nice and kind is one of the few good features I have. I've done bad things but it doesn't make me a bad person. I do much more good than bad and so many people have told me I'm one of the kindest girls they've ever met.

Sometimes people want to make you doubt yourself and feel horrible and that makes me sad. They must have some really terrible problems they need help with.

I've always wondered; who actually calls someone a horrible person? I'm basically Lucifer and even I haven't been insulted like that.

This thread made me think more than it should've.

My mom once called me socially retarded. That stung quite a bit. I've never been much of a people-person, so what? I don't actively seek out social interactions but don't actively avoid them either. That was a few years ago and she probably realizes now that this is who I am, never apologized though.

More recently? I'ts not much of an insult to me more as severely annoying. Certain family members are dead sure that I have some sort of a mild mental disorder and are occasionally figuring out what it is, from autism to tourette's. Honestly I find it an insult to those suffering from serious mental instabilities.

I was called it once by some pleasant girl my ex knew who I'd never spoken to. I have reason to believe her life was/is a massive train wreck at that point, so I suppose the few minutes of making me feel bad made her feel better.

I can certainly act horrible if provoked.

 

[TrulyBritish]

I never really pay much attention to insults, I mean when you're as annoying and frequently arrogant as me, it's rather par for the course. So I'm going to take this as people saying something that offends me, rather than perhaps saying something bas about me. Sort of.
As weird as it sounds I always get mortally offended whenever someone tells me "You don't even care about me". Now I may be rather misanthropic, and to be fair I do repeatedly say I don't care about people, but it still somehow gets to me when a friend assumes that I don't care or don't like them. I can remember trying to console a friend when she angrily yelled at me "Why do you care? I could drop dead right now and I know you'd just walk away without thinking twice, cos that's who you are!".
To be fair she did apologise after I gave her an angry rant inspirational and truly uplifting speech.

 

[Abomination]

I have made about 8 people cry from insults I have thrown their way. Context is everything and it needs to include something they're ashamed of with the included risk of being made public to others by a trustworthy source.

Worst thing I have been called is a toss up between a racist or a rapist in situations where the accuser had support of immediate toady backers in a public scenario.
