What's The Most Hurtful Thing You Overheard About Yourself By Accident?

what's the most hurtful thing you've ever heard about yourself by accident at a family reunion my mother stated she was through happy when i moved out it was my house and i was letting her live there for free after her divorce if another nurse had been taking care of him he'd be alive right now spent the end at night running around trying to stabilize a patient and my [ __ ] of a co-worker sat there talking shitty with my other [ __ ] of a co-worker loudly talking about how incompetent i was the entire time neither of them lifted a finger to help when the patient crashed both of them magically disappeared and it was nurses from the other side of the hallway who came to help with the code they came after all was said and done and then i overheard one of them say that then they proceeded to tell the unit manager i was incompetent and crying at the bedside i was seven and basically poor trailer trash but i asked my friend if i could stay the night he called his mom to ask and i overheard her say tell him no i don't want roaches and lice really cut me deep to this day i have extreme anxiety about keeping my house clean i couldn't help it i was poor and our roaches didn't pay rent you [ __ ] overheard one of my aunts telling my mother that my arms and legs looked disgusting because of my body hair and she should do something about it i was 11 and really self-conscious about being a hairy girl when i was in seventh grade i lived in a stypodunk town in east texas i was weird and an ugly duckling in order to fit in i decided to become a cheerleader since all of them were popular and well liked at my school i made the team and considered all of them friends even though they were mean to literally everyone who they didn't consider cool one day during a practice the bases of my stunt the people who hold you up dropped me and i fell flat on my ass which bruised my tailbone really badly at our first game we were on the sidelines and during a break i overheard our team captain laughing about how funny it was when her and the other base dropped me on purpose and that they had hoped i would be hurt enough to not be able to participate at the game as a 13 year old it destroyed me but in order to still seem like i was liked at school i didn't tell anyone about it when i was a pre-teen i posted a picture of myself online with a minor celebrity i later found that it was reposted on a message board and the majority of the comments talked about how ugly and pale i was the only person who said anything nice said don't say that she posts here sometimes and she's really nice i saw two girls that i roomed with for a short while in college had been publicly posting on facebook about how weird annoying and disrespectful i was their reasoning was that i was taking an 8. 30 a.m class and only weirdos do that and that i made a sht ton of noise every morning and disrupted their sleep it hurt because i tried really hard to not be disruptive i wouldn't let my alarm go off because i woke up naturally around the time it was scheduled and would just turn it off before it beeped this was partially out of anxiety i changed clothes in the bathroom tiptoed everywhere and wouldn't even eat or zip my backpack in the room because i wanted to be quiet as far as i knew neither of them woke up any of those mornings and they never said anything to me about it colin i was copied into an email conversation where about 10 messages earlier one of my employees had described me as an idiot and suggested to the recipients that they didn't get me involved in the situation they were discussing i'd always thought we got on well and it knocked my confidence did it thanks for all the replies and messages some of you are really nice i've got much thicker skin now but this happened many years ago when i was quite new to management i eventually talked with the lady who sent the email and she was extremely embarrassed and apologetic then when we talked more it came out that one of her colleagues was spreading sht about me and she hadn't questioned what was being said it took months to get rid of the real problem causer this wasn't in the usa it's difficult to fire people where i am and the real confidence crusher was knowing that he was poisoning the well that whole time things were much better once he was gone my stepmom saying i was useless heartless abusive leeching etc when i couldn't get my dad a birthday gift and instead painted something for him i was like 16 at the time and had no money couldn't get my mom to buy something for her ex-husband and stepmom never wanted to get to know me to my grandma actually pretty sad his art was still a big deal to me at that age the irony in that is that your stepmom was describing herself at my first internship i overheard one of my supervisors ask the others if i was genuinely mentally handicapped that hurt edit yes she 100 meant what she said but not in a compassionate way she not only insulted me but insulted the undergrad program i came from for sending her someone so incompetent nothing i did or didn't do justified her behavior for example she asked my opinion then laugh in my face when i gave it or tell me a beating was in one room when it was in another and snap at me for not being in the right place that was 10 years ago now i have a few degrees and i'm happily employed in the same field at a company that values me i once overheard my friend's mom telling her son who was my partner in our canoe trip that the reason i was complaining about leg pain all day was that i was just wimpy and complain a lot a few weeks later i found out i had a bone tumor on my leg so i was pretty vilified by that but then again i did have cancer all's well now though edit thanks for the upvotes and merry christmas many people loofed when they heard the news so there was no need to me to throw it in anybody's face i phoned my friend and asked him if he wanted to hang out i was maybe 10. he said he had to ask his mom i heard him say lazarus 870 wants to do something but i don't want to see him i guess he either thought he muted the phone or did a tty job at muffling it or something then he came back to the phone sorry my mom said i can't he was a terrible friend over the years in eighth grade i had the highest gpa in my class so i got to recite the pledge of allegiance at graduation at our rehearsal as i was walking up to the mick i overheard a classmate whisper to his friend out of the whole grade they had to pick the kid with the most annoying voice it's a decade later and i still shrink into insecurity when i remember it he acts like people actually like him someone needs to tell him we only hang out with him because he will do almost anything you tell him to he's a sad little puppet girl i had a thing for granted anytime someone said something starting with things like wonder what would happen if and 20 dollars says you wouldn't couldn't do insert stupid idea i would jump on it and do it attempt it it's called making 20 bucks tbh a number of years ago my sister's phone was super glitchy and would randomly call people once it called me and after i stopped singing and goofing off into the phone trying to get her attention i just stopped to listen she was bitching to her mother-in-law about me i honestly can't remember what exactly she was saying but just the fact of who she was saying it to this woman barely knows me if it was one of our other siblings who we're close with it wouldn't be that big of a deal so i promptly called her back and chewed her a new [ __ ] h.a just five minutes ago my co-worker told me my other co-worker told her she'd quit immediately if i got hired onto the position they're currently at up until this point i thought this girl and i were best friends i even shared my netflix password with her that [ __ ] hope you change the password overheard my mom telling my aunt that she hated me as a person i was 13. overheard someone saying they didn't want to work with me i don't know why considering i barely knew them it definitely hurt though i've had this happen at my work as well plus people saying i'm a fck up i've only f ked up things that everyone else has admitted to also f king up before i'm under the impression all my coworkers are just dicks because i try to keep to myself do my work and go home they always talk sht about the cars i buy and bring to work too i don't understand why it's none of their business what i do in my free time i buy and sell cars i have new to me cars every other week they tell me i'm an idiot for buying them but i'm just doing the maintenance and cleaning them up to sell them for a profit and maybe make someone happy and sell them their dream car edit my first gold i don't even know what to do with it my project leads it to a mutual friend i can't def can stand that guy that one hurt emotionally in my career everyone i'd invited to my first sleepover laughing while reading my diary entries about how my dad had been abusing me i left the room and one had gone snooping it was worse when they wouldn't stop or give it back when i burst in and pleaded with them too then everyone laughed even harder that was the first and last time i wrote anything real like that in a diary i think this was 9th grade a girl i had a crush on but hadn't really talked to at all was moving away few days before she moved i overheard her saying yeah i'll miss pretty much everyone but i'll tell you one person i won't miss sanskrit that kinda sucked my dad's friend telling my dad that i f16 then was not that good looking asked him if he had saved up money to cover for that in dowry money exchanged by parents to the groom at the time of marriage since that day no one could convince me otherwise heard my mom complain about the christmas gift i gave her a few years back seems small but idk it just hurt i used to make my mom gifts when i was a kid one time i made my mom this cup thing in elementary school and gave it to her for her anniversary and the next day i found it in the trash can well not a mean comment this comment killed me i have epilepsy and i overheard my parents and neurologists talking about some of the effects if my seizures continued which were basically becoming dependent for everything short and long term severe memory loss and my eye dropping a lot it really hurt hearing that in a few years i would have gone from honours classes to special ed thankfully my seizures have stopped and the only lasting side effect is some memory loss but man that sent me spiraling for a long time my dad saying he expected my twin sister to do great things not so bad until he followed it up with i don't know what we'll do about my name though he still doesn't know i heard that and i plan to keep it that way the best revenge is a life well lived overheard my dad tell my mom that i am not capable enough to go through with my higher studies one of the worst feelings when your parents don't have any faith on you i have now graduated from a prestigious school and have two degrees to my name my mother telling a relative that i was useless selfish arrogant ornary and stupid for giving up on my education i was 16. i had just transferred from a private college prep school seven miles away so i could go to public school one mile away for both i walked and took public buses i was my mom's caregiver housekeeper bill payer shopper gardner hand-demand security service and courier service 24 stroke 7. i had no social life and i worked pt i had been doing this alone for three years though i was the youngest of seven siblings i was flawed i felt like i had been sucker punched i stood there in my apron and rubber gloves holding a laundry basket and balled my eyes out it wasn't as much the content which was bad but the context she was lying and doing it to ensure that i looked bad enough to everyone that if i reached out for help none would be forthcoming learned a hard life lesson that day i was sick septic dying in the er at the local hospital i had tubes coming in and out of me i had i've antibiotics i didn't know if i was going to make it through the night my family was at my house and my niece who was with me called the house and put them on speaker i heard my mother telling them all how she didn't care about me never had she was only there to make sure my nephew was okay that i got dirty diseases from being gay and sleeping with everyone in town no it wasn't an std no i didn't get it from sleeping around and i haven't bothered with her since not overheard but accidentally saw messages popping up on my mother-in-law's ipad as she was texting her friend from another room about how i used to be attractive that i was now fat and that her son was basically a saint for still being with me it broke my heart i went to school with a black eye and busted nose from my dear old dad child services was called to do a home check my dad and mom told the worker i'd done it to myself and i was suicidal and that i'd written in my diary that i wanted to kill my little brother i didn't even have a diary and of all the people i was close to my little brother was number one it got me a blacker eye and an involuntary stay in a locked ward i bailed a sap my father said he was too busy to come see us on christmas i told him my two-year-old had picked presents out for him i was also going to announce my second pregnancy i was at my brother's house when my father called to offer my brother a ride to the airport christmas morning the airport is less than five minutes from our house this is quite a thread i've never wanted to punch so many people i don't even know right in the f king face my best friend's story not mine but figured it's worth sharing we'll call her carey she was born super premature but she ended up completely fine like you would never know unless you saw the pictures of when she was born anyways when she was around eight she was at the top of the stairs head peeking through the banister secretly listening to her parents argue downstairs about how her dad was too hard on her brother for his grades her mom says well why aren't you that hard on kerry she doesn't get straight a's either and her dad responds carey was born premature she's probably retro dead honestly dr matt 73 is like a two-stroke 10. ooh thanks on the upside you can sleep well knowing their 10 stroke 10 cnts when i was in middle school art class something funny happened and i let out a loud laugh i then overheard one of my childhood best friends whisper to another person god i hate trader 2488's laugh i immediately looked at him and said what and he just looked down at the table like he didn't hear me this actually made me change my laugh it's completely different from what it used to be edit well jesus christ that was quite the christmas surprise i forgot about this comment and just saw how many upvotes it has i went to school for a year for baking and pastry arts there was a program-wide competition and i was one of the only person in our section that wanted to compete during an exam i was waiting for some sugar to boil so i'm standing by the front of the room at a burner and the other chef in charge of the competition comes in to talk to our chef they're whispering to each other for a few seconds and then i clearly hear our chef say well it's not that she's bad he shoulder checks sees that i'm staring right at him and they step out of the room looking back at it now they were probably just surprised i had wanted to compete since i'm definitely not the most outgoing person in the universe but at the time i was devastated edit given all the really heavy stuff going on in this thread i'm super lucky and aware that this is a very silly incident semicolon middle school i overheard some girls say that a person i regarded as a close friend was only talking to me cause she felt bad for me she then confirmed it absolutely nothing which just makes me more paranoid when i was eight i decided to make my mom a paper mac crocodile for her birthday i spent weeks on it get back from school and work a bit more on it all in secret so it would be a surprise when i gave it to her one day i came home from school excited to get to the crocodile as her birthday was coming up fast now ran to the kitchen and saw my crocodile all screwed up lying in the kitchen bin she found it and thrown it away i cried so much my fiance's mother trying to convince her to break up with me because i was a lazy slob as i was still recovering from injuries i sustained in afghanistan that limited how active i could be eddie this blew up more than i was expecting thank you everyone for the kind words my recovery went well and i'm much better now both physically and mentally and while her mother is still pretty cold in general it doesn't bother me any happy holidays and merry christmas i was in middle school and i overheard one of the girls doing one of those paper fortune telling games with the boys and predicting who they were going to date she opened up the paper and said ugg you're going to date fox and the guy just said gross yet found out that i wasn't really considered a catch edit my name is not really fox my name here is glimmer fox which is a name i invented for a character in a book i'm not writing took 18 hours to draw painting for one gave it and felt happy but soon i found she dumped it in the garbage edit and to most of the question how can anyone throw their own portrait painting gifted on the birthday the same day it really depressed me till now i recollected the painting from the garbage and took it home when i walked in on my noex boyfriend cracking a joke about my boobs to a group of guys i very clearly remember it ending with she'd be great this was in middle school my friend being an [ __ ] texted a girl at school that i had a crush on her even though i didn't she replied you kinda hurts a little bit walked up on a bunch of people who i thought were my friends talking shti about me saying i'm a loser and all this other shitty when they saw me they fell silent and i just walked away that really hurt but i got over it eventually edit this is my highest voted comment by far and my first ever silver thank you all for the christmas present edit too gold as well this is going to be a great christmas overheard my dad telling my mom that he didn't expect my brother and i to get accepted at ndsu a month ago i flaunted that acceptance packet writes in his face but he's also told me that i probably won't amount to much or be a failure as well as his plans for me if such thing were to occur to cause him the least amount of embarrassment edit row i didn't expect this reaction and everyone here is so kind thanks guys edit holy cannoli thanks for the gold and silver guys i was going through a pretty rough time and came home from college super depressed and my brother told my mom i was a basket case kinda ironic coming from him but it still hurt i've always struggled with social anxiety and i finally felt like i was getting a good handle on it i texted one of these girls where we would be meeting as i was on my way to her apartment before i could knock i heard her saying oh my god she is so annoying why couldn't she just get the hint and it was just a good few minutes of all these people who said that they will never judge me and that we were family just sht talking me all the progress i've made towards my social anxiety slid all the way down my grandparents whispering at the table about how terrible i am and how i'm a real mess then acted all normal and cozy to me i was 14. edit only this blew up overnight by far my highest rated comment kinda sad thanks for the support everyone and merry christmas he's a great guy i just wish he was hotter well fck my parents laughed to themselves when i mentioned the college i was going to apply to when i was in fifth grade one of my friends accidentally invited me to an online chat room called the i hate ll cloud ixll chat room when someone realized i was in the chat they unloaded on me pointing out every floor i had and why no one in school liked me the rest of the chat room followed suit and said some pretty awful things to me including how i should kill myself and that no one would miss me a few of my closest friends even chimed in at this point and agreed with everything being said i started to self-mutilate and pretty much went the rest of middle school and high school without friends unable to trust people or get close to people to this day i can pretty much count how many true friends i have on one hand kids can be f king awful this seems super small and weird but my best friend growing up recently found her old hard drive from when we were in like grade six stroke seven and we were going through it together she was letting me go through whatever because it was all so old i'm 20 now so it didn't really seem to matter i found a lot of old msn chat logs throwback where she and other people from my middle school class were just ripping me to shreds calling me ugly annoying fat all that good stuff fun times i imagine this will be buried by now but hey it's christmas i was at a sleepover with my three best friends and was woken by something in the night while trying to get back to sleep i heard my name so i obviously listened in two of my friends were discussing how to phase me out of a group it felt like they talked four hours about it how weird i was how boring i was how much of a chore i was it was gutting on the positive side i found new friends told them about it all and my previous friends were pretty much ignored by everyone outside of their little group so they got what they wanted and i got what i didn't know i needed you
