The phrase "what is wrong with you?" has always been hurtful to me, I think because I've always had this feeling that something is inherently wrong with me without any clear definition or explanation. That phrase is especially hurtful coming from someone I like. It's as though they're seeing that thing that's wrong in me that I've always seen and now, by seeing it too, they're not going to like me anymore. This idea has been further cemented by my last relationship.

I grew up before the soul thing. I think it's funny now. I like telling people I sold my soul to the devil for some ability I don't have. Usually turns into a good laugh.

Thinking about it, I used to get made fun of for things that are benificial to me now. Growing up, I had an unnaturally deep voice. People seem to like it now. Chicks totally dig it, so I guess I came out on top.

Honestly, I hate it when someone openly ignores me. Like, I send a text, I know they get it and dismiss it. Or something like that. I really REALLY hate that. I'd prefer for someone to tell me they don't like me, or to stop talking to them, rather than continue it blind.

Of course I just give up after a while. My persistence only lasts if I actually like the person or want to be their friend.

Being hated by females I like always stings. Also just thinking about death (not my death), which I do constantly. I could be at a wedding or witnessing a really sweet moment between people I care about and a thought runs through my head that he/she is going to die and I get a little teary eyed. Bah

Doing things wrong. Especially at work.

For example today I accepted a return I shouldn't have, and I should've known better than to take it. My manager asked me why I did it, and if I had any excuses. I told him the truth, that I didn't. It hurt me worse than anything in recent memory, but I'm still tender from my recent breakup.

The issue is that I want to be perfect at work I think, which makes me acutely aware of when I mess up.

Honestly? Compliments get to me the worst.

When I was a kid, I picked up on the fact that advlts complimented me more right after I'd screw something up. It was just the way that people around me tried to cheer me up, but it backfired to a degree. I associate a particular style of complimenting with deep childhood feelings of failure. If someone starts complimenting me (and not something I've done) and its not for some obvious social reason, it makes me paranoid and brings me back to being a sad child.

There's also a lot of offensive things that get to me, like when people abuse my argumentative tendencies (I've learned to back down, but it's really easy to rile me back up) or if people take something I like about myself and try to twist it into an insult, but nothing else can mess with me as much as a compliment can.

Being so close, and having so much to say, and watching you walk away, never knowin', what could've been, and not seein' that lovin' you... is what I was tryin' to do.

Maybe you should ease up. They're likely not purposefully trying to hurt your feelings. Sometimes people are in the middle of something and sometimes they're just not in the mood. Also not everyone is a master of texting. For a lot of people typing out a text message on a phone can be a real pain in the ass. If you really want to talk then just call 'em.

Losing someone I love, be it death or simply falling apart from each other. Hurts even more, seeing that I fall in 'love' easily, like I am right now.

Failure. Just the look of disappointed others, hurt me more than any name calling ever will.

Being lied to.
