People Read The Most Hurtful Words Strangers Have Ever Received

"My mother told me she would send me back to foster care and put me back up for adoption."

We all have been told hurtful things. We had people write down some of the meanest and read someone else's to create understanding, connection, and empathy amongst strangers.

That hit home...

My father died in 2011 and in 2012 someone told me "I wish your dad was still alive so you can see how much of a disappointment you are to him"
I know nobody will read this but please, if you argue with someone, never go low enough to bring up a dead parent or children.

Someone asked me once, "why am I so hard to love?" That genuinely pained me.

The worst thing I ever heard was from my teacher, she said "The smart one got dumb", it was in the middle of the class.... after that I cried.

My 5. Grade teacher spent so much time trying to take a picture of the class. I was standing in the middle and she told me to stand on the side. The pic came out with me being the only one with my head not in it. I was the only black person in the class. That hurt me.

The most hurtful thing said about me was, "He isn't my friend. Just a tool I use. Why would I ever befriend a person who makes noise whenever they sit and move." This happened on his birthday, and I left him my present and a letter stating, "I hope you enjoy your gift. I worked on to afford it. Sorry for being so fat and sorry for being your "friendly tool"." I received a text msg at midnight, stating that he was sorry for what he said, it was only so they would like him. I replied, "If your popularity is more important than a bond, then you're not sorry." Still to this day I have never given him a third chance.

I know a person who has had a pretty disturbing childhood. Their parents passed away when they were 11, they had to take care of their younger sister who passed away 2 weeks later due to the excessive abuse and torture brought upon them by their only living relative and legal guardian. They ran away and found a better home with some very kind people, made a new life.
When they were 20 though, a person they were arguing with told them *"This is why everyone leaves you. Even your own family. You don't deserve love"*

They didn't even get attend to attend their parents' funeral.
