“Your minecraft house looks like shit” still hurts til this day
My mom said to my aunt, while I was in the other corner of the room and they didn’t realize, “You are lucky. Both of your kids are handsome. [me] is not good looking .”
My mom telling a family member at Christmas that I’m not smart enough to put a toy can robot together with my niece. I was in high school, I was also in a robotics group.
oh boy. I was around 7 years old, my mum invited her friend round and she brought her daughter along. we were playing and the girl told me about her ballet classes. I asked my mum if I could go to ballet class with her and she said they’d take one look at me and tell me sumo wrestling was down the hall and I was in the wrong room. this was about 15 years ago and it still hurts to think about. I’ve brought it up before and she conveniently doesn’t remember. thanks mum!
No one will probably see this, but I was paralyzed from an illness during middle school. I was sent to rehab to learn to walk again, but I couldn’t make any improvement and I got so depressed about it. At one point, an exasperated nurse said “Do you want this for your life? Are you just going to be in a wheelchair and be a burden forever?” She probably didn’t mean it, but that sank in so much. I still have to use a wheelchair 10 years later and I cant help but feel super guilty and ashamed as if I could have learned to walk if I’d just tried harder.
