People can make annoying assumptions based on personality. Apparently I was too serious most of the time, then when I wasnt, people thought the damn opposite. Its annoying becuse you cant [censored] win.

Still im pretty antisocial, havent seen friends in person much (I have seen them like 3 times in over a year, maybe 18 months) since leaving school. So I cant say being ignored is an issue for me, sorry to hear that though.

When people point out I'm single. Though they don't know it, there's complicated hooks that tie into the 'why' of it all that I'm not comfortable just sharing out in the blue.

This. I put myself down over everything.

Same here. Sometimes, when I try to go into a circle of people standing around talking, I stand on the outside all awkard and a little hurt. I'm too quiet. I svck at making friends.

Honestly name calling. It is easy to say that you can brush it off, but for me it has a lasting affect.. My brain constantly remembers all the names I was called when I was in elementary school through High School. I can thank one person and one person alone for all of that. It's what you get when you come from a small town and the same bully is there from elementary school through high school and he won't leave you alone.

I have to agree with this. I have always done extremely well in school and many people take that as a reason to endlessly harp on any mistakes that I do make, and I just can't help but be too sensitive about it.

But the thing that hurts the most is usually brought on by myself not others, and that's regret. Sometimes I get myself into these moods where I can't stop reflecting on some of my bigger mistakes and a lot of "what if" type thoughts about my life and the choices I've made.

Hm, yeah, I agree.

When I was growing up kids would make fun of me for having big ears. Fortunately I grew into them. Honestly I can't think of anything anyone could say to me now that would bother me that much.

The lack of reciprocation. Everyone has their flaws, but when people just aren't honest about their desires or intention, it really gets me. Thinking someone is a friend, or that you're close, when really they've been silently lying the entire time is downright frustrating and sends my mind to worse places than anyone's stupid words could. Makes me feel like such a sap to go along with it, like I've been used and manipulated. Makes me want to become cold and bitter... But then I remember [censored] them if that's who they are, and everything's well again

I really should just use the proverb 'sticks and stones..' but I do hate not knowing where I stand with someone/something.
I'd rather be told hurtful things outright than be lead on in secret.

There's only two people on earth who could say something that would hurt me. Growing up as a fat ginger in the inner-city has given me thick skin.

Pain, generally.

It always used to annoy me when people thought that because I found school boring and pointless and so never got especially good grades, that I was stupid. I know loads of people who got great grades but are [censored] morons about everything else.

Matt and Trey ? It was the soul thing wasnt it ? I kid, I kid.

It annoys me when they think they are smarter, yet lack common sense.

From my experiences, a decent amount of people that get good grades (especially in high school) just memorize stuff and spit it back out on paper. Or outright cheat and don't get caught (like 75% of the "engineers" at my University). Those people are just good at remembering things; they can't solve any kind of problem to save their lives.

Being called a cry-baby.

my brother used to torture me in front of his friends and would call me that when I cried or told him to stop.
I was bullied a lot as a kid because of my condition, and I was admittedly overly sensitive about it so kids would laugh at me and call me that too.

now-a-days I'm emotionally stoic, it's very rare for me to lose my cool or actively show that something's got to me, but occassionally some small little man with a small little [censored] will try to get my goat, and even if I ask him/her calmly and rationally to stop it, they'll call me that.

deep inside that phrase conjures memories of being a whiny little kid and being ostracized for it :cries:



everything else involves more personal issues in my life that needn't be mentioned here

this, 100% this. I've been bullied many times in my life, but the worst pain often came not from them, but from those who pitied me and lead me on because they felt guilty.

Pfft try trusting a girl who tells you to lay down on a table then close your eyes. Next thing *BAM* and you look around for her with the girl long gone you can do nothing about it. Absolutely swore to myself since I was 7 to 9 years old at the time to never trust a girl again.

Being ignored.

Giving everything you can to your so and getting treated like [censored] for it

Kids used to make fun of me for my big eyes too, now I grew into them and girls say they're extremely attractive at their current size, which is still a bit larger than normal eyes. I win

I always liked these threads, it helps remind me that everyone I enjoy reading posts by are all real people. Just wanted to share that

How do I keep getting back to these forums? I keep clicking some button and it brings me back here.

Oh, but what hurts me the most is being called a Brony, just because I enjoy 'My Little Pony' doesn't make me any less of a man.

What hurts me the most is when people I care about deeply get angry at me for hurting them when I never meant to. I get "sorry" doesn't help, but I never purposely hurt them, so why do they try and hurt me back? Are these the kind of people I put my trust in? Who would so easily go after revenge when somebody they TRUST AND CARE ABOUT ACCIDENTALLY HURTS THEM?

I don't even retaliate because I'm so sad, I'd bear any load to try and make their suffering less, but it just hurts so much when they say things that cut so deeply.

[/being emo on forum]

In regards to personal remarks, I tend to ignore most things but things about my chest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pectus_carinatum), acne, and nose are worse than others...

I'm also very self-conscious about my teeth or breath, but I brush often so that's never been a problem.

EDIT: being derp with URL tags. Did they remove the ability to embed links in texts or have I forgotten how to link?

Cruel injustice (not just to me, but anyone around me) especially being done for some naive notion of "greater good".

Jealously and being ignored.
