one comment which has affected your confidence

[Carnation]

A teacher in school held up my book in front of the class and asked me how I got everything wrong. I sat frozen to my seat unable to say anything and blushed. Despite this she continued to ask me the same question and then told me I was very rude and that I should find some manners. She would insult me and be very aggressive towards me in class and often humiliated me in front of the class. This experience has often reared its ugly head and affected me many times over the years.

I've also been referred to as a snob and a stuck up bitch.

Suffice to say I'd rather be in my own company these days instead of be in the company of scum like that.

My older sister growing up would always tell me that I wasn't normal. Something wasn't right with me and that I was really weird. She treated me as if I was something she never wanted to be.
I've come to terms with it. I know I'm not that weird. I think.

A girl who used to be my best friend would often tease me and say I was "useless". I knew she never meant it, it was a joke. But for some reason, anyway, this word got stuck into my head and everytime she said it I would feel hurt. I don't know why and I still don't, but at times I'd get angry and blame her for my low confidence. However, I know I can't really blame anyone for how I'm feeling. It's up to me to make a difference in my life...

The one comment that I will remember for life is my father shouting at me that while I was first succumbing to APD at about the age of 15. He said I was going to be a bum and live on the streets.

My dad said something exactly like this when I was about 16 or 17. This only reinforced my own thoughts about the likelihood of someday becoming homeless.

this one was like 2 weeks ago from a friend: you are so ******* boring. because i'm not interested in going out, going to clubs and in class i actually do my work instead of being social. She got lucky that I was just stunned cause i didn't saw that coming at all, trust me if she insult me one more time i'm putting her in her place.

I don't know what to say.
I'm everyones target for emotional-abuse. From back in kindergarden, to church, even in my personal life/home.
It's either a sign that I'm an awful person who is a mistake, or people really like to pick on the quiet ones who are seen as weak or emotional-punching bags. :/

The latter is true, and since they are like that what they say has no credibility.

"aww, I'm not mad at you I'm just done using you. Now STFU and get the f*** out"
That was said a few nights after I hooked up with a guy I liked less than a year ago. He seemed to good to be true and he was. I just wish he would have been more straight forward and didn't act like he actually wanted to be in a serious relationship with me. He somehow gained my trust which is a nearly impossible thing to do with me. but...I guess that shows what kind of person he is. As a result I have pretty bad social anxiety.

I know right

I've been told some horrible things which made me what I am today, but I blocked them all from my memory

 

[punklove]

There are a lot but I'll just say one..
My supposed "friend" at the time said to me: "I never realized how big your nose is" I've always been insecure about my nose and to this day I really want a nose job.

 

[Minty]

It wasn't at me. But it was about me while I was in the room. My "best friend" at the time complained that I was too boring and she didn't want to hang out with me.

My mom told me the same about my nose, but then I realized she was just taking her own insecurities out on me. After I realized that it didn't bother me as much. I think that goes for a lot of ignorant comments on this thread. The tricky part is to believe that what they're saying isn't true.

Sounds like a winner.

Sounds like someone who deserves something deeply unpleasant by way of payback somewhere down the line. But I'm sure bsebring is far too nice a person to even consider anything like that.

A girl in my class once said behind my back that I was good-looking, but smelled bad. It affected my confidence in both ways.

 

[pebblesdundee]

Zac fancies Maria! childish I know and I don't understand how the hell this could bring SA on but it did. or maybe I'm suppressing whatever really happened. but this comment is the last thing I can remember as a 'normal'.

 

[Snowdrop]

A girl I was friends with said as a joke "You're useless" frequently to me. I knew it was a joke but on some subconscious level I started to take it seriously and it hurt. Later on, it came as a surprise to me that I actually believed that I really was useless, and low self esteem hit me.

“Don't be so ridiculous.”

From the mouth of the first person I ever trusted with my problems.

"I dont like you"

Simple...yet profound.
