What do you say to make them say that?


It's usually when I'm discussing modern gaming trends and such with someone else who decides to stop sharing their (usually opposing) opinion on the matter and resorting to petty insults, either out of annoyance or just to piss me off, so I return in kind and stop talking to them; it just bothers me too much. I'll admit I get pretty heated during such debates and will often receive insult because I said something negative about a game the other party likes, but I don't immediately jump on people who say they don't like Deus Ex. :shrug:

Not much, maybe seeing someone I like with someone else, that kinda is like a mental kick in the nads. Other than that I've got a pretty tough skin.

Same here. The girl i've been yearning for has a boyfriend and to top it off, he's a complete dike.

From my upbringing, I definitely have a sore spot if I feel like my interests/choices are being disrespected/dismissed. I can take jokes, ribbing & the trollish internet stuff, don't get me wrong - and I don't mean disagreements where you agree to disagree. I'm talking about serious disrespect that is repeated over & over by ppl you know in RL, often under the guise of 'helping you' or manipulative guilt trips. People who do that aren't friends for long and are cut off pretty fast, even if they're family. That stuff is poisonous & I don't need it in my life, period.

I hate it when people point out and mock my failures. That is all. Anything else, I can shake off and forget.

Dont really have a lot that "just hurts" but it is nice to have people actually listen to you when youre trying to say something you feel is important.

I can shrug off most things people say, but there is one thing that actually hurts me, and that is when people call me unintelligent (and any synonym for it). I hate being called that so much it makes me hold a grudge against someone until they apologize, and even then I might not forgive them. That's one of my main motivations for getting the highest score I can possibly get on the SAT test. I want to make everyone that calls me "stupid" to eat their words.

I don't really react until I get to the point where I just punch them in the face.

When people hate on bronies.

Seriously though, a lot of stuff, but I rarely show it. My response to any insult is to be incredibly scathing and sarcastic.

I actually have pretty thin skin, so much so that even a small insult from someone I care about or respect, or some action of mine hurting them, will bug me for the rest of the day. Luckily though if the insult's from someone I already have bitter feelings towards I wont care in the slightest.

One of most depressing things that could and has happened is when a friend brings up a really fond memory they have of something we did together, but I can't remember it due to my memory being so bad. If they aren't already aware of my memory problem, it'll turn into a really awkward and easy to misunderstand situation. Even if I manage to fib my way out of it and pretend I remember, it'll still hurt me even if I got out of hurting them.

Being judged insane and/or suicidal just because I have a motorcycle, I just don't get how having a superbike and wanting to end your own life can be connected. I've had minor accidents, for what a regular band aid to cover up the scraqe was all the medical attention I needed, and even that due to bad and unfamiliar roads, yet every time I show up somewhere on my bike everyone there thinks I have a death wish. It just hurts when people think of you like that.

Oddly, I had a similar discussion a couple days ago. Since you saying "... and stuff" is a little vague, I will assume your general question is "What can people say // do to hurt you emotionally".

And the answer, is nothing. I'm not trying to be a 'tough guy' with this either, but nothing ever really effects me mentally. The only thing I would say that does, is something that doesn't qualify for this thread. I'v had friends die, family die, and it's never really bothered me. I move on quick, and I don't dwell on anything in the past, regardless of how recent. I'v grown up having people mock me, insult me, and in general kick my ass (until highschool when I decided i'd fight back so it stopped), and it's never had much of a mental effect on me. When I was younger, I won't deny being upset // hurt at times, but as it stands now i'v become a stronger person for it. You can say what you want about me // my friends // my family, none of it matters to me.

The only thing, emotionally, that hurts me, deals when I am in a committed relationship. It is stuff dealing with that, that can emotionally attack me. And not 'fights' or 'arguments' or 'break-up's, but when it's something affecting the person I am with. It's the only time someone elses misery // sorrow // hurt can cause me to be hurt as well. However, even with break-ups, whether being one-sides fault or a mutual break-up, I get over it really quick, and don't really dwell on it.

So for me, if it counts, relationship where the other person is hurting. Other than that, i'm basically a heart-less [censored] :)

I take criticism extremeley personally, makes just about anything in the job and school world hard. Also I consider myself to not have a self esteem and I don't believe in my own abilities at all, I cant trust myself to succeed at anything so the smallest negative thing directed towards me or a failure of any kind can send me into short but intense depressive episodes, should probably get that checked out sometime....

Also whenever I let someone down or dont meet their expectations I never stop trying to make it up to that person which can take a heavy toll on mental health when all you're concerned about is other's well being and how they see you.

Edit: Getting dumped by your biggest crush for saying you love the person 3 months into the relationship doesnt feel too good, and then not being able to move on while the other does just puts the icing on the cake. But I'm starting to get depressed just reading these posts and typing this one so I'm going to go to Reddit and cheer up for a bit :D

Hardly anything. The one thing that has any negative effect on my mental health is when the person I care about is in any form of danger and seems ready to just give up. Anything else I just shrug off. In order for anyone to hurt me they have to hurt the person close to me. Nothing else works.

When people ignore me for the little stupidest thing. Especially woman. Other than that...nothing. Now if you mean "Gets to you mentally" as in really, really creepy things, it would probably have to be the part in BioShock where
Spoiler
you finally meet Ryan. He has a long ass speech then you hit him in the face with a cane. Then he speaks hoarsely and then you hit him once more. Then you finally do it a third time and blood starts gushing out of his head, and falls to the ground with the cane on his head. Then you find out Atlas is actually the bad guy. When that happened to me, it gave me nightmares that night. God.

I have a hell of a time taking criticism on any work that I've really put my heart into, especially if it is something where I've received no positive feedback on it yet.
