What is the worst thing someone ever said to you? - Not an insult for the sake of it, something that cut really deep

[rel=alternate]

I'll get thing started.

Something I never forgot. One day, we were drinking and talking as a family, maybe arguing a bit, but nothing too adversarial either.

Then my dad told me I was just like his dad. And I know how he felt about his dad. He did not even hate him as much as he had contempt for him as person. Probably for good reasons.

Worst part is that it was not even meant as an insult. It was just a thought he blurted out.

 

[Fat Gollum]

"I don't think we should be together."

 

[Sparkletor 2.0]

"The ice cream machine is broken, sir"

 

[We Are The Witches]

Probably when they forbid me from laughing, one time when I was a kid and for no justified reason.

 

[Overwritten Tapes]

Nothing will save you. You must save yourself. And save yourself before attempting to save anyone else.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

"You almost look human."

Context is she said it in a bantery way when I showed up, flirting with me since I had dressed particularly nicely and shaved my beard, but just in terms of words spoken it's probably the worst thing someone ever said to me. Even though she wanted to fuck me that was kinda brutal, but that's the kind of girl she is.

"I don't love you anymore."

Damn.

 

[Señora Airi]

"You're cringe"

 

[Toji Suzuhara]

"nigga you schizophrenic and most of your waifus don't actually exist"

 

[Character from a movie]

"Do not redeem, saar"

 

[Hellwalker]

"Oh, no, no, no no no! SOAP! NO, NO! NO! SOAP!"

Hit by a drunk driver in late 2017. Came extremely close to dying from it.

Had a family member tell me they wished I had died that day.

 

[Core Theorist]

"Got your nose!"

I shudder every time I remember those words.

That's brutal. Why did they say that?

Oh man, this one is a doozy cuz it's actually pretty fucking bad. Back before I joined the army, my mother told me that she knew I was going to kill her and my stepdad and that I was a fucking monster, and that she shouldve stomped on me when I was a baby. I'm paraphrasing but it was nasty.

Needless to say we don't talk very often after that exchange. I've forgiven her but its one of the few times in my adult life that I've been genuinely insulted by something someone said to me. Most words just slide off me like water off a ducks ass, but to know your own mother genuinely considers you to be a monster is something else I gotta tell ya.

This word gets thrown around way too often online, but this family member is a textbook narcissist. They go into a complete meltdown and say anything they can to cut you as deeply as possible if you don’t acquiesce to them. That’s why.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

"Sorry, we're out of french onion soup"

 

[Judas Connor Moon]

"You're a nigger."

 

[Broken Talisman]

The fact that this particular instance is the "worst thing" that's ever been said to me is a pretty good indicator of how easy I've had it, but I got into a fight with my little brother over him playing electric guitar too loudly in our shared room. I unplugged the amp and took it into the living room and when my mother reprimanded me for overreacting, I yelled at her for the first and only time in my life accusing her of letting my little brother do whatever he wanted and so forth. It was a pretty lengthy diatribe over basically nothing, but I was on a roll and venting with fists clenched etc. When I was done she had backed away and quietly said "I am afraid of you" and went to her room. It had never occurred to me that I could make my own mother afraid. It was a valuable lesson in practising self control.

Covid was fun.

Stopped speaking to certain family and friends as they couldn't accept that I don't worship science as blindly as they do.

The worst part I think was being told I was a conspiracy theorist for questioning what the television had told them to think and then having them mock me as in their mind, if I disregarded one core tenant we'd all been told to believe, then I must believe any other number of established things are false.
I've cut off more than one person who entirely seriously told me I must think the moon is made of cheese because I didn't think experimental drugs being mandated on the public was a positive thing.
