Well, I am usually a POSITIVE person, like a ray of sunshine...Well MOST of the time, haha. But I was just thinking about an old friend I used to have. I think when you have old friends that you've lost touch with it's easy to lose track of the negatives and only miss the positives. I would say the worst thing she ever said to me is a crude remark about my mom not being there for me (My mom used to work a lot), but it was still really out of line. I believe you NEVER bring family into arguments...Ever. It's nobody's fault and just a low blow. What is the most hurtful thing your friend or an ex friend has said to you? How did you overcome it, and did it hurt your trust in new friendships at all? Did you come out of it as a learning experience on who to confide in?

I have had a so called friend tell me some horrible things too. Once a friend told me after a breakup - well just look at his new girlfriend she is beautiful - ok so I am chopped liver? Not what friends say to each other.

hI.THE MOST HURTFUL THING my friend done to me is when she blame and think and told me i stole her aunties jewelries on her 18t birthday.that hurts me so much because i did not do that so all of my friends change on me and look at me every time so badly because they all believed i did that.But one day she talked to me and said her auntie already know who took her jewelries and its only his cousin who he did that.my friends started to talked to me again and said sorry from since then i dont easily trust to friends now.because its very rare to find good friends.now i have only few selected friends i trust the most.

well it was long time ago and I still remember it. When I was a little kid, I had an playmate.She was a wild girl,but I was shy and reserved. She would be very friendly and intimate to me if I did everything she wanted me to.But if not, she would tell all the other kids not to play with me, and they obeyed.I can't remember what wrong I had done,but because of this reason, I always felt lonely in my childhood.

Well, it was long long ago,when I was a little kid, I used to be very shy and always felt that I can't get on very well with my playmates. One of them was a wild girl, she would be very friendly if you do everything she wants you to, but if not, she would tell all the other kids not to play with you.because of this, I always felt lonely in my childhood.

This is a good question. I don't remember any hurtful things from friends. This may be because I am a positive person in general. It may also be because I am a nice person in general and I had friendship with nice people who made sure that others never got hurt. Sometimes or once in a while you hurt people unintentionally and you can't help that. I am not remembering anything yet. May be I should think more and get back to this discussion.

My real friends never hurt me. Only friend who I just met along the way in my life. They always tell me that I don't dress right, I talk slang and I'm not fun to hang around with. It's fine that they are brutally honest, but I hope they say it in the right place and words. I just ignore it but I don't talk to them often after that.
