What's the meanest thing someone has ever said to you? And have you forgiven them?

Answer 1

What a great question! You know, I tried to think of the meanest thing anyone's ever said to me, and I just couldn't come up with a thing.. I have been hurt many times by things people have said to me, but the fact that I can't recall even one of them must mean I forgave it at some point.
Or, that it wasn't as important to me as I must've thought at the time...*shrug*

Answer 2

I had a girl once write me an email with the nastiest things a person could ever say to another human being. She told me I was cold hearted, I had not an ounce of love in me, I was a horrible Catholic who didn't deserve the title, I deserved nothing but bad things in life, that my boyfriend and I deserved eachother because he is just as cold hearted as me, that I single handedly destroyed a friendship by my cruelty....etc. It went on and on...I have never forgotten those horrible words. Before this, I never let others opinions affect me, but this hurt me deeper than I can say. I would never want anyone thinking this about me. I consider myself a loving Catholic, a warm hearted person, and the friendship she is referring to was not working an had to be cut off. I didn't think I'd ever forgive her. I desperately wanted to, so I could let it go. Then, a year later I ran into this girl and she wouldn't even look me in the eye. I knew she was ashamed for what she had said to me. When I got home, I wrote her an email saying that i had never forgave her for the cruel things she said, and this was probably because she had never asked for forgiveness. I told her that I could tell she was ashamed, and that if she asked me for forgiveness than maybe we can put the past behind us and move on. She wrote back with a very nice apology and said that she was indeed ashamed and that none of the things she said were true. I ended up forgiving her. whew, that's a long story :)

Answer 3

Gee I have a list. But to answer the other part first yes I have forgiven them but I also find it interesting to think how meer words can change the course of your life and others for ever.
Here are some examples:

I once had a boyfriend whom I truely loved. One time I begged him if we could run away together (yes I know a silly teen dream) and his response was "What about my car...I love my car". Needless to say that was then end of our 2.5 year relationship.

One time my dad called me a whore. It was in that instant I learned a "a drunk mans words are a sober mans thoughts" and never again did I believe people that told me "I didnt mean it I was drunk" I also vowed I would never be like him. Out of all the things he said to me...those were the ones that made me who I am...someone not like him.

Answer 4

i was in the 4th grade and we had a substitute teacher who hated me and was downright abusive to me. You know the beating, making fun of me and having the rest of the class make fun of me etc. What hurt me the most and funny enough the one thing that i cannot forget is the fact that she called me a confusionist. Everytime i asked a question she made fun of me saying that i did not understand because i wasn't smart and that i was confusing the whole class. This lasted for all of one week but it took many years of therapy to work through. Till today the word confusionist and the thought of that period in my life still induces fear in me.
Never seen her since then, don't even remember her name or really what she looked like. I just remember she was an albino lady. I don't know if i am still angry at her. I don't remember being angry, i just remember feeling like a scared to death prey

Answer 5

I've heard many mean things through out my life...it hurt then, but now I could care less. I don't think I have forgiven anyone...I'd still want them to get hit by a bus or something...if I remember who they are and what they said..but that's just me. I am too careless to remember...

Answer 6

My mother told me that she would "Never miss me when I left the house". I was moving out of her home to my husband's home. She looked me dead in the eyes and told me this. My whole world collapsed. We never had the best relationship but I expected a little more from her.

To this day I still haven't altogether forgiven her for that comment and we are not as close as most mothers and dauthers are. It strained us and my husband's relationship with my mother.

Answer 7

I'm not going to post it on an public forum...

And no, I haven't and I never will. There's just somethings that are too cruel that they don't deserve to be forgiven.

Answer 8

people have said mean things to me and i have said mean things as well. i have come to realize that words don't really mean anything, actions do. we are all entitled to our opinions, thoughts and ways of life. yeah some people are a**holes, you just have to learn to ignore it. you know the old saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder? so is everything else.
:-)

Answer 9

You know...its hard to recall, No one has never really said anything mean to me..hmmm...I guess I would have to say: well when I was little I was chubby (lol) and my dad told me I was fat..it really hurt my feelings. But I forgave him. Hey, the truth hurts!

Answer 10

I used to work with a black girl. and she would talk to me at work and she knew I was gay. She told me that if she ever saw me out in public that she would ignore me and not talk to me because I was not a real person. No I don't forgive her. That really hurt. Why can she talk to me at work and nowhere else?
