Which insult you've received hurt you the most and why? [serious]

When I was in 5/6th grade, I went to a sleepover at a friends house for her birthday. There were a bunch of other girls there and we were playing pranks, telling scary stories, asking girly sleepover questions etc.

The birthday girl asked everyone if they could change one thing about themself what would it be, and I was one of the first people supposed to answer. I couldn’t really think of anything right off the top of my head, I initially said “I don’t think I’d change anything” and after a brief pause remembered that I had acne and was about to change my answer to that I’d get rid of it when she looked at me and said:

“Really? I thought you were gonna say your nose.”

It was super embarrassing and uncomfortable for everyone and nobody wanted to play the game after that. She didn’t seem phased by everyone’s change in attitude. I don’t think I’d ever thought of my nose as being weird/ugly/big before that night but it was a huge source of insecurity for me all through jr. high/high school after that.

Either that or when a guy I used to be head over heels for told me “Its like I’m a kid and you’re a toy that I don’t want but don’t want anyone else to have”. This was after we’d been friends/talking for over a year and I’d invited him to come to a dance with me. He didn’t come, but at the dance a mutual friend of ours showed me messages of theirs where he basically told her that I meant nothing to him, so I asked him about it after I’d had a fun night with people who actually enjoyed my company

However, I’m much better off now! have a bf of 2.5 years who I love and has never made me feel lesser than, and I also grew into my nose :—)
