What comments have stuck with you?

[Empired]

It's likely that over the years some people will have made comments about you that have always stuck in the back of your brain. The reason I'm thinking of this is because someone said something at work to me today that absolutely killed me inside but I just had to brush it off and act like I was totally fine with it.

So my question is, what things have people said to you/about you that you'll always remember? (Doesn't just have to be bad things!)

I'm not sure if my question is clear so I'll give two examples (they're bad but I can't think up better ones):
-Wow, that colour looks great on you.
-Do you wear your hair like that EVERY day??

Here is a place to vent or boast x

2 negative ones unfortunately:

"You're a bully/not a very nice person". I literally cannot get this out of my head, I've genuinely believed since then I am not actually a nice person. Though it bothers me less now as idrc whether you think I'm nice or not but it still nibbles at me.
"You don't deserve to be unhappy". Might seem nice, but the context it was said in was "there are people dying in Africa, you're not allowed to be unhappy" essentially lol.

Positive ones are just quotes really, some people have said some lovely things to me over the years, but it's always quotes that I recall strongly. Especially this one:

"Because the only thing anyone needs to be special, is to believe that you can be." ~ Lego Movie haha

negative stuff obviously sticks more. i've been complimented but nothing that has helped me in times where i'm feeling down.

appearance comments (i can think of negative comments i've had on most parts of my body) + being called 'the weird girl' = long lasting effects even though i haven't heard them for years.... i still feel like that weird girl everywhere i go and that i'm somehow worthless because i'm not 'normal'.

lots more i'm sure but those affect me everyday.

I can't think of any really, negative at least. Either I don't get them or I instantly brush them off as I don't care.

I already know im ugly so any negative comments bout my appearance don't make much difference. Only thing that hurts is when I tried to get to the bottom of why my family seem to treat me differently, they said they "sometimes forget I'm even around." That was hurtful.

Physical things like to do with my looks often stick with me positive or negative although must admit I mostly get the latter. Other negatives are when people have a pop about gender related things telling me what I should be or do etc and other positives I guess stuff about my art or designs so stuff I make basically

wow that sounds absolutely terrible mike.
my mother has the knack of making a comment about my weight/appearance/whatever sound positive but is really a dig which can hurt quite a bit.

Do you think we really receive more negative comments than positive ones or do we just notice the negativity more?

I've been given a lot of comments - negative and positive. Just gotta try remembering the positive more.

Sigh, If only you could see what I can see.
