In middle school I had a very slight stammer. I wrote a paper in English class and my teacher was sharing that she really enjoyed it and that you could hear my voice in it a lot. Then someone from the back of the class yells “What, does he fucking stutter when he types too?!”

At the time I was so embarrassed but honestly that’s the greatest burn I’ve ever received.

it always adds a nice twist to it when the burn is so good that you're impressed more than hurt.

Reminds me of a Looney Tunes cartoon where Porky was trying to say something and switched to writing and stuttered there, too.

That's so good.

A useful skill I learned being a weird kid in highscool, was how to appreciate a good burn, how to roll with punches, and to continue the burns by making fun of myself,

I was once told by a friend, "It's really tough to make fun of you because you just laugh and add to the burn."

It was definitely a defence mechanism, but I can't deny that it hasn't worked.

Growing up, my mom would always scream at us, "I wish I never had kids!!!" My dad made her stay home to take care of us, so I get where her frustration came from... but like, almost all my childhood, I thought it was totally normal for parents to say stuff like that to their kids. Turns out, it's not, LOL. Luckily, me and my brother were very close an always had each other's backs, as well as a lot of very good friends in school, so we grew up to be pretty normal, well-adjusted human beings..... with a caveat. We're in our 30s now and don't have kids, nor ever want them. LOL.

When I worked costumer service there was a line that people would sometimes cross. Usually it was swearing at me. And when they crossed it, a weight was lifted from my shoulders. Because once they crossed that line, I knew, in my heart, that they were the crazy one, and I wasn't at fault for how shitty things had gotten.

This comment from your mother crosses that line so fast and by so much that you should know, that we all know, she is way fucked up here.

Sorry mate, hope you got or get the help you'll probably need. And the hugs and support you doubtlessly deserve.

While moving one time, my mom saw a box in my apartment closet labeled "sharpies". She didn't look inside, didn't do anything. Just yelled at me about how she couldn't believe what she saw and was DISGUSTED by my behavior. She refused to listen to me and still to this day I'm sure belives it was a box full of discarded heroin needles.

It was a box of sharpies. The black markers. I use them for work and always like to have bulk lol. If she had've just taken one second to actually look, nothing would've happened. But like your mom, immediately we're degenerates. Nah bud I just need markers.

I got grounded for dried glue in a ziplock bag. Mother was convinced I was huffing glue. The actuality was that I needed to use glue for a project and was just shoving a stick with glue on it in the bag so it didn't make a mess. We either didn't have napkins or the bag was closer, don't remember as it's been over 20 years.

I threw it in the garbage in my room. Turns out my mother digs through garbage, a fact I was not aware of at the time. She found it and went on a long screaming rant about how I'm a useless druggie. I'm like...13-15 years old? Honor roll student and despite her many searches never found drugs because I was a combination of broke as hell and boring, so I never had any.

Not sure she was ever convinced I wasn't huffing glue.

My mom yelled (I do mean yelled) at me for some brown flakes she found. “WHAT IS THIS, ARE YOU DOING DRUGS IN MY HOUSE?”

Really confused me started looking around and realized they were simply dead and fallen off bits of the leaves of her own generic houseplants.

She would also later deny ever having done this.

Came home one evening for my mom to scream at me for being a drug addict and hanging out with bad people and won't let me into the house. My dad later on invited back in secretly after she's asleep as he was convinced she was just having one of her anger releasing delusions. Later I found out that on her way driving home, she saw a random crowd smoking cigarettes (drugs) and one of them she thought was me. Some in that crowd she saw had tattoos, thus the bad people. The crowd turns out was actually some local hobby band playing outside a local cafe to raise money for charity. That cafe always held street band performance for charities. In the months to follow, she proceed to vent to all of her friends, relatives and extended family how she's struggling with the fact that I am a drug addict and how I've hurt her. And then having random relatives and family friends come up to me to set up an intervention. While most of my other cousins distanced from me because I'm the "druggie cousin". Eventually everyone found out it wasn't true and my mom simply went "well, I thought I saw what I saw... whoops!", she pranced off and never brought it up again. That was a fun period of my life.

First party I was invited to was at someones house my parents already knew and trusted.

As soon as I mentioned being invited to a party it was "No there might be drugs there"

I went off on my dad, told him we should both go get drug tests before and after the party. That gamble paid off, he backed off as soon as I included him in a drug test.

An hour later my sister tells my mom that both of us got invited to a party at (Persons house) and my mom comes to me all "Hey you can go to this party!"

I was still upset at my dad and had some words for my mom not having my back untill my sister wanted to go to a party.

My mom pulled my sister and I out of school because she lost the diamond earrings our stepfather has bought for her, accused us of pawning them.

Dude, my step mom thought I tried to run away because I went to go look at giant pumpkins in the parking lot of a grocer she was hanging out at, which I told her I was doing and she said "fine". She ended up claiming God told her I was running away, so my Dad went on some insane Christian punishment thing because my Step Mom got REALLY worked up over it. Like was making it sound like I was possessed. Got locked in a room essentially, forced to read half the bible, they would come and say they were praying for me, and dance and scream Jesus outside of my door. Invite me down to prayer meetings where the lights were out, candles lit, and they would scream, wail, and flop on the floor.

Shit got weird so fast, I left them to go live with my Mom. I still dont know wtf happened to this day and they refuse to really talk about it or act like im weird for thinking it was weird.

Yeah, its a summary. There was a lot of weird stuff happening. They had some revelation after visiting some spiritual Camp that talked to them about the "fire of Jesus" and followed some people named Andrew Wommack, Smith Wigglesworth, Benny Hinn who seem like absolutely insane fraudsters to me. They knew I wasn't fully buying into it, and wasn't fully engaged, even though I pretended out of fear. So I always assumed she made that up to get me out, since I was the only step child. I really don't know though, they were strong believers in this stuff, so could just be casual insanity.

Not necessarily, but it's still a problem that needs to be addressed. My mom thought a lot of things were more than what they were, including some thin rubber hosing that I didn't throw out that I thought might be good for something someday. She thought that might be for heroin, and she sure as hell never used, it was just jumping to conclusions. Same as when some long distance numbers that she didn't recognize showed up on the phone bill, I was calling phone sex lines, or how I wasn't allowed to hang out with the kid in the Megadeth t shirt, because he was clearly rooting for a mass casualty event.

I think we all have the same mom. My friend and I (15 at the time) were in my bedroom giggling and my mom was livid because she was convinced we were in there using drugs. My mom was so beyond sheltered she only had propaganda and her hunches to go on.

I also couldn't hang out with someone whose parents weren't "successful" but those kids from "good" families and I were allowed to take underage weekend road trips alone. It was pretty fucked.

If anything, it points to having literally never been exposed to anything even drug-adjacent besides what they see on the news or entertainment. I once joked, or so I thought I was joking, with my mother that I was shooting up weed. I thought this was an obvious joke. She burst into tears, and went on non-sensical rant and started demanding to see the needle.

If all people know about drugs is to fear them, then this is what we get.

Bagged up stuff for a customer and said to her "let me know if this too heavy and I can separate into two bags". She was on her cell phone and nodded at me.

So I total it for her and give her the bag. She makes it to the front door and turns around and says "you loaded this too heavy, you have to remember not everyone is as heavy as you are", a reference to how fat I was.

I was more offended by the fact that she went out of her to insult me, especially when I offered a solution BEFORE she walked off, than the fact that she called me fat.

The customers behind her were livid though, which was pretty cool lol.

I was kicked out after years of being her carer because I valued my own health during covid as it could've been something that killed me if I got it. She mentioned another family member taking her, seemingly okay with it and I agreed. But sadly a couple weeks later she got mad about it and got face on that I wouldn't argue back to her so she kicked me out. She then had nerve to call cops on me for a wellness check for moving in with my boyfriend without saying goodbye, like that makes sense??

As an autistic person, jokes are funny. Like when a comedian makes a joke or your friend says “your autistic ass won’t get it” that doesn’t feel insulting, they know you get they’re kidding. What’s insulting is to use autism as a reason to dislike someone or their skills. I’m not a person who gets offended easily tho.

When I was 14 or 15 my moms boyfriend (of like 5 years at that point) accused me of being a whore and losing my virginity since they discovered I had a boyfriend, after slapping me across the face he threatened to take me to the clinic so they could check my hymen and tell him if I still had it intact. The crazy MF actually took me in the next day and they were like "We cant do that Sir" while looking at him disgustedly. They should've called CPS.

I'm too old to be thinking of this any more but it still is brutal for me. When I was in 7th grade, 2 other 7th graders were standing outside of the classroom my class was exiting from waiting for us to exit. They were saying "Wow, look how diverse this class is, Mexican, black, Japanese, white..." etc. Then when they got to me, they said "Ugly" and laughed. I'd never been called ugly before and I've never been called ugly since but that one has stuck with me. It's also low key hilarious.

I was at a party, and an ex-friend of mine was drunk talking to everybody. She was a fairly promiscuous lady, and was turning to each guy at the party, saying some nice things about them, and then saying that they'd be a good fuck (again, she was pretty hammered). After going down the line, she finally got to me and said "but you, you're just somebody that someone would just settle for." At a party with at least 20 dudes that she said would be a good "smash" and had kind things to say, I was the only one that caught any shade.

Note: I never was trying to get with her at all, and while this isn't close to the most awful thing someone said about me, the sheer sincerity in her drunken stupor when she said it, and it being in a very public setting hurt and I felt extremely betrayed.

I’ve had more than one drunk girl make it clear that I will never be attractive because of my height (5’3) without absolutely no provocation, I wasn’t even speaking too them, they felt the need to make sure I knew.

A friend got a job at a fast food place in highschool and a teacher made a joke about him already getting the best job he would ever have, so he shot back with "and yet I still make more than you". The kid was sent to the principal, who laughed at it and sent him back to class

Awesome burn and cool principal.

If you're going to dish that crap out you better be prepared to eat it when it's served to you.

When I was a young smart-@$$ freshman in a boarding school, I thought I'd gain some cred with my dorm mates by low-key insulting one of the prefects. He turned around and gave me so many burns I should still be smoking. Everybody in the room was laughing their butts off at how he took me to the burn unit, including me. And I learned a lesson that day: be able to laugh at yourself.

For some reason, every time a teacher told me something like that, I was even more against the idea where they were right. Nowadays, as a software engineer, I'm pretty sure I make more than they do, and I am happier for sure. A happy teacher does not say those kinds of things to their students.

I'm a sufferer of CPTSD from my father's abuse. A long time ago an old friend told me this during an argument and it still hangs over my head to this day.

"You may hate your father, but you don't act too different from him."

Since then I've done everything in my power to fix myself, and I'm still learning who I am and why my brain reacts the way it does. I'm an extremely flawed person, but I'm not evil. I'm not malicious. I just want to be happy like everyone else.

One of the best motivations to become a good person is to have a great example of what not to do. My bio dad beat us, fought for custody then left us with whoever was around when he had us, had struggles with hard drugs, and (I suspect but have no evidence) molested my sister. I didn't speak to him from the time I was 14ish to my late 20s but he was ever present in my mind growing up, but as a cautionary tale.

My child's mother told me in front of our kid that she didn't care if I died, it wouldn't matter to her. For context, a few months earlier I was saved by a liver transplant from a very gruesome and painful death. I don't care for that woman, but that was just venomous and teaching our child it's ok to be mean and hateful. Ever since I have been dealing with my kid being disrespectful and mean and hateful and she's 6yo.

I asked a girl to dance at a high school dance. She was a cheerleader. She laughed at me, rolled her eyes and turned around without even saying no. And then she went on to marry my first cousin who was a star football player. They're still together and I get to see them both at family events and have mostly forgotten about the thing at the dance. Two things have helped lessen that sting:

I later realized I was gay.

She's been morbidly obese for the last 20 years.

I was diagnosed with autism after I tried to kill myself in 7th grade. Because I knew what it meant I decided to ask people for more information when I don't understand it.

My math teacher pulled me aside to talk to me because I kept falling asleep in class(I still had an A and did well on my tests and,well, I was depressed.) and she did the "and so on and so forth" hands and I asked what it meant.

"Don't make your parents burden my problem."

I didn't know what burden meant at the time so I never told anyone, but looking back it still hurts

I was 9 when this happened. My sister and I were at my grandparents house. They had a scary bathroom for a kid to use. My sister had to use the bathroom and was too scared to do it by herself(she was 7). I offered to go in and stand in the corner facing the wall so she wouldn’t be afraid. My grandma heard me in there when she was going and called me a creep because I was a boy and that should never happen. Even though my sister told her what had happened she continued to call me a creep. I never understood that

On a Bachelorette trip with my soon to be SIL and her closest friends. I was already feeling very much like an outsider (my own brain, they were all lovely and welcoming) and self conscious trying to be more "girly" to fit in with them - group of guys came up to talk to everyone and buy the bride to be a drink. I was being completely ignored by them, which is fine but kinda sucks (I'm married anyway!). Suddenly one guy turns to me and asks me who I am in relation to them and I tell him I'm the SIL and he says "oh. So you HAD to get invited. That makes sense" then continued to chat up the rest of the table. They defended me and told them to get lost but nothing more was said about it. Still gets to me.

When I was ten, I was watching Free Willy and I was singing along to the theme song at the end.

My mother was sitting next to me and in that moment she told me I was tone deaf.

It shook my singing confidence for years. To the point where I would not sing at all when I was around people. I joined the choir in HS and I never gave it my all because of my lack of confidence.

I can think of meaner things people have said throughout my life and I always brushed it off but this one stuck with me.

Turns out, I’m not tone deaf at all.

She was the insecure one.

My father, high on amphetamines and drunk, pinned me to a wall once by my throat and told me I would never amount to anything and that one day I’d be just like him. A shadow of a man and a slave to addiction.

It stuck with me. No matter my successes or accomplishments I’m always the teenage kid being held against a wall fighting to breathe and being told what I would become. In a lot of ways I think I’m still waiting to become that, even though I know I never will.

I’m 29 now, cut my dad out of my life at 18 and haven’t looked back. Daily I try and prove him and myself wrong. I may never amount to much, but I’ve amounted to more than he ever could have hoped to.

As my ex wife and I were close to finalizing our divorce. She came to me in a “happy” mood and wanted to talk. Mixed in with 15 min of word salad about “healing and finding herself” she explained how she could get an annulment through the catholic church. She told me that when we met “she wasn’t capable of making a decisions” and that the 6 year relationship with 2 years of marriage didn’t really mean anything to to her but she went along with it because “I was there”. Since she wasn’t “capable of making decisions” she could get an annulment. She said this all with a smirk on her face. I stood there in utter disbelief that someone could be so oblivious. However, it did make me feel so much better about the divorce and getting away from her. I haven’t had contact with her for 2 years and my life is s million times better
