what is the worst thing you have been called?

3 things that stick out

1.: I ran up to my ex for a hug. He pushed me back, poked at my arms and said " Awww, your like a proper little fat person now!! " with a big smile on his face.

2. Ex boyfriend, again. He was angry and VERY over emotional one night after a previous argument. He started spouting off the most awful things about me that I had never heard him say, or had any idea he thought.

" Your fat, your ugly, your teeth are terrible, your awful in bed, Im not attracted to you, your lazy, youve wasted your life " honestly I could go on. It was a bombardment of insults that lasted nearly 5 minutes. He apologised and said he never meant it, he was just " upset " . Thats the day we split up, in my head. I tried for 2 years afterwards. But nah.

My mom use to call me Keiko. Yes... as in "Free Willy", My brother use to call me an Obese whale, and My sister would tell me, "You wish you had my body"... now I'm way fitter than all of them combined. My Dad was the only one that was fit in my family, never made fun of me, only told me he was worried about my weight and inspired me :-)...Now my cousins call me "anorexic" because I watch what I eat and workout. I just laugh.

Thunder thighs. I had said something meaning to be a joke but they took it seriously. It wasn't even a joke towards them.

Stupid, Spoiled, ***** & Self-Centered...all of which come out of my husband's mouth. It's quite sad really cause it has nothing to do with me being overweight or skinny. Guess Im just a ****ty person in his eyes.

When my hubby calls me spoiled I look at him and say WELL A**HOLE YOU DID IT! And he always admits that he did Sorry that that happens. It feels like *kitten* when my hubby tALKS CRAP TO ME. bUT i KNOW WE ALL SAY CRAPPY THINGS IN AN ARGUMENT (sorry caps) that we don't mean

My dad used to call me this. He always meant it as a joke but I took it to heart. I had a guy in high school call me a fat *kitten* as well so now I'm super self-conscious about my legs and butt.

Hi, Everyone.



This was me, on national TV, during an episode of Minute to Win It. Scratch it off the bucket list. Was on a game show.

The internet can be cruel, however... It wasn't that there wasn't a "mean thing" that stuck out in my head, but there were hundreds upon hundreds of comments... ranging from me weighing a thousand pounds to an orca whale... it didn't matter. I knew I was heavy, but I had a great job, a loving family... that's all I needed.

I wasn't struggling with my weight. I just didn't care.

Here I am now, about 120 pounds and a ton of muscle later...

A couch in Chinese.

:mad: SPICK :explode:

My parents brought my siblings and I to this great country when I was 9-years-old from Cuba... I will forever be grateful because I was giving a home considering we were left out on the streets of Havana, no home, no food, no job, simple because my father was a political prisoner... Keep in mind that my father is Sicilian and as a young man was taking to Cuba by my grandparents where they subsequently passed away and my father was orphaned...

Thirty-three years ago when we got to the states and started school, the only two language I spoke was Spanish and Italian and even though I was bilingual and I thought then that it was awesome, it turned out that it didn't matter how smart I was much less that I spoke two languages... I was a F@#&ing SPICK... Not necessarily what a child would expect and it did bother me for a long time, but I learned English within 6 months and it was incredibly easy to acclimate to my new home, surroundings, and language because I was a child and I had nothing to worry about...

Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE THIS GREAT COUNTRY , It gave me shelter when my own country wouldn't because we weren't worthy... I LOVE The Bill of Rights we all are so privileged to have and my favorite being #1 Freedom of Speech, Religion, and The Press, these three are of most importance because it's what my father and many in my country don't have... I understand that children only repeat what they hear at home and from other children, but it still hurt nonetheless :brokenheart: ... I also understand that racism is something taught and we can teach our children otherwise ...

Thanks for reading this long story, it's wasn't meant to be long I just got caught up in the moment :embarassed: ...

Taking a step at a time to reach my goal always :flowerforyou: ...

I am so thankful for everyone who has shared their experience here.

The comment that hurt me most came from my father. And, while it might sound strange, it never occurred to me that any other father, mother, husband or friend- - -or anyone from whom they had a right to expect caring, would speak to them that way. Deep down, I thought it happened to me- - -alone- - -because I deserved it.

If I wasn't fat, no one could call me fat, right? I know, intellectually, that doesn't give anyone a reason to be mean. But it's hard to think, in the moment of how to object to a comment about something I am painfully aware is true.

I am not glad this happened to anyone else. But deeply appreciate everyone being willing to share their experience and the feelings it created. It helps not to feel alone.

My step-daughters mother told them to laugh at me because I had cancer. As you can see in my pic I have a scar from srugeries I had to have to remove it...after picking up my step-daughters one day she said "watch you neck, it makes you ugly"....
It hurt at the time becasue I was still dealing with the meds and surgeries - after awhile I realize what a sorry person she is and took a lot of time explaining to my step-daughters that cancer is not funny, we read many books together and now they help each year in Relay for Life, donating their time and allowance to find a cure!
