And I don't mean embarrassing. I'm talking about the moment where you felt the lowest of your life - whether because of your own actions or those of someone else.
For me it was in the 7th grade. Everyone was lined up for the buses after school and these two guys went running past me and one of them spit in my face. I've dealt with insults and a wide variety of physical and verbal attacks. But in that moment I felt like the most worthless person in the world. I think it was made even worse because no one helped me out. No one handed me a napkin or anything else. This was truly the worst moment of my life.
What's kind of ironic is I became friends with one of the two guys about 6 years later in college. I never mentioned it and neither of them ever apologized. I had actually forgotten about this until about a week ago when I was writing a personal history. For what it's worth, I was 12/13 at the time and I'm 34 now.
