Have you been hurt?

Someone said something not to me but I felt like it was against me and it hurt. I know they did not mean to really hurt me per say but it hurt just the same. Has anyone hurt you without realizing it? Did you say something or just let it go?

hi LMB, I have a neighborhood that every time she sees me she will comment that I am a fat one and I was annoyed with her remarks as she is more fatter than me one time I told her that our refrigerator is always and I end up eating all the time. Some people are tactless and doesn't think first before saying something towards other. happy mylotting

hi bhabycatch Yes over here in the US we call that foot in the mouth disease.One without a grain of tact blurts out something he did not mean to say at all; the expression" I Just put my foot in my mouth means you just blurted out something without even thinking before you spoke.[

That's not nice at all for her to do that bhabycatch! I'm sorry you have such a rude neighbor! Why is she saying that if she is bigger anyway?? That makes no sense at all. I agree Hatley, sometimes people don't know how to shut their mouth! I know a few people in my family like this! It is annoying and rude...

LMB I think she is saying if you never get hurt, you never grow up. I really think if one g ets a lot of maybe not meant but still hurting it does not help you mature,instead it makes you leary of trusting anyone. I try not to post anything that might look as If I want to hurt someone. It's not fair and a gainst mylot rules too. Most every one here is so kind and thoughtful that if I ru n across something that mioght have not been m eant t o hurt but did if its a friend on my friends list I will private message them and ask what they meant? most all the time the person was upset that I took it the wrong way. She apologized and I said no need for your apology as I see you never meant to hurt me.

hi LovingMyBabies yes about a year ago a my lotter told me she hated my discussions about mylot and thought I was just too harsh and mean and on and o n like that. It made me so angry I forgot about no flaming and I let go of my anger with her hence both our responses and comment were deleted. next time someone insulted me I just reported her a d let my lot admins handle it which they did and felt I had been wronged so her responses all four mean and hurtful were deleted.Its just so awful when someone here does that to you as its sneaky and cowardly because they are hiding behind their computer. I know that they would never have the guts to say it t o your face.

Through time, I've learned how to be rough-skinned. Sometimes you have to develop this in order for you to live through life without getting strayed for nonsense. There are some things that will trigger your anger but are not really meant for you. You can't just tell them to stop it since it's not really directed to you, so all you can do is nothing. You can't even react to it if it's not really that big of a deal. All you can do is get over it.

Yeah I guess one day I will grow stronger emotionally. I agree, I wish I was tougher so I don't have to go through so much pain. I was not born that way though so I guess I will have to teach it to myself. I was always emotional and sensitive. I know I can do nothing about it but it bothers me so much...

hi LovingMyBabies Dear friend, I have a short term memory when it comes to remembering things which have been hurtful for me. So definitely not in the recent past. But unfortunately, these past few days I have some unidentified problem which has made me feel irritated and behave hurtingly for no reason at all. I had been to the doctors but the blood pressure and other results were okay to them. I dont understand the why of this for now.

i think we should remind he/she that hurtme,however he/she isn't deliberate. Because there is something subconcious what isn't the same as they said,

Aww sweety, so sorry that happened to you. I dom know what it's like. It's the kind of hurt that makes you terribly sad. A lot of the time you will feel that way because of something someone didn't say. Try to rise above it my friend. It's a harsh world sometimes.

I've done that for my bro-in-law and his wife (and others too). They just wanted the free ride so they could keep up the rotten lifestyle they chose to lead. Thank goodness they moved on. There are lots of people in life who are happiest when they are miserable. They love to whinge and whine, complain and have people feeling sorry for them. It's never their fault that things for them are the way they are (it's always someone else's fault) and they will not do anything to help themselves. You are better than that sweet pea. Let them go, it's their life and you have your own life to live, laugh and love.

Thank you MsTickle. It was something that was said not to me but wanting to go back where they were in a bad situation instead of being here with me, being safe and a good place to be... It hurts because I opened my house to this person to better their life! Then all they want to do is leave! =(

I have heard a lot of bad things told by a few about me. I did not bother confronting them. I feel that i do not need any explanations to them. I can live my life without them. And I know that the reason why they were saying those was because they were envious of my situation that time. And so I get to thinking, these people are sour graping.

Yeah, it wasn't really about me per say. It just bothers me when someone is wanting to go to a place where there was nothing good for them instead of taking help and using it to better themselves! And wanting to leave and telling people how much they want to go...

Well I guess every people have been hurt. And I assumed that you're not a normal person if you haven't experienced being hurt by someone or something yet. :)

I have been hurt PLENTY of times in the past! This is definitely NOT the first and it will not be the last I know that already!

Sometimes, there are really people who will hurt us despite the fact that they don't want to hurt us because we do differ in principles and perspective in life. Of course I experienced this kind of feeling sometimes I let it go and sometimes I tell the person who hurt me unintentionally, that I was hurt by what he/she did. Depends upon the situation.

Yeah I think I am going to let this one go, its not really worth even bringing it up I don't think... Thanks! =)

It happens for so many times, but I didn't dwell from it. I just move on and ignore the fact that they cause inner pain. Life is like that, we need to feel the pain and be stronger from it.

hi yes I think this all happens to all of us, and you have some wisdom there in your last sentence.Yes you are really right without pain, we cannot become stronger and then more sure of ourselves too.I know I am too sensitive and I think we all do 'this at times, read in to what was said thinking the buried barb was meant for us. Myself I edit my posts for having said anything that people might take personally or' take it the wrong way.one time what was meant as a joke from me back fired dreadfully and hurt the one I was trying to joke with. for one thing I had forgot that different cultures might have different views on what is really funny too.b

It happens mostly to people who can relate to that "something". Though it wasn't intended for you, you feel the same pressure inside you, I bet it is what they call paranoia(?). I don't see bad being paranoid sometimes, 'coz part of it is being sensitive to your surroundings. The good thing about it, is that- it won't give you hurtful surprises tomorrow. You are already prepared to others judgment on you. The defense mechanism inside us are the ones hurting us. It's more on having an argument "unconsciously" with your own self. You wanted to defend yourself from something "that SEEMS to appear as YOU" though it wasn't directly you.

Well, no it wasn't like that. It's more like someone refusing to realize how good they have it where they are at and wanting to go back to a place that was no good for them. Giving help where it is not wanted I suppose. Nothing really about me at all actually, just when you give someone a way out and all they want is to go to whats not good for them hurts...Especially when you love and care about the person...

Its happened to me. I say let it go IF they really didn't mean it and they probably don't know they hurt you. I would address it if it something they do all the time towards me but not at me!! If they didn't mean it, no sense making a big deal of it. If they do it on a regular basis I would think they are deliberately speaking to me without directly speaking to me and in that case i would say something.

That is really mean of your cousin to say those things about you. That is right, she has not walked in your shoes therefore she should be minding her own business and not speaking badly about you! It is none of her business what you do with your life. She should worry more about herself and her attitude! I'm sorry you were hurt...

This is actually an ongoing problem of mine. I think that the more I get older, the more sensitive I am becoming. I feel that I get hurt by what some people carelessly say. I'd like to think that I don't let it bother me, and that I don't show it, but deep down it does get hurtful. I'm always trying to teach myself to ignore it/them. I hope you're learning too.

I know words can hurt if you internalize them. The words may not be directed at you or anyone else, personally, but if you take the words to heart they can hurt. I think you were offended once by something I said. I don't even remember what it was, but I felt bad at your reaction, because I didn't intend to hurt you. I was hurt more than once by a friend and I felt it was best that we part ways. I can live them from a distance and not offend them and they can't offend me.
• Valdosta, Georgia
14 Nov 12
Yeah it wasn't something that was said to me or about me actually. It was just that we are trying to help someone and all they talk about on other places is wanting to go back to the same situation they were in before... It hurts because I care and love the person.

I would say this kind of things happens all the time. Most people are not good at talking. Perhaps they have certain things that they want to express but they always express it in a manner or choice of words which implies certain implicit meaning. I had experience such things quite often. In fact, my girlfriend did that a lot and I always explain to her what she implied when she said certain things.

I have been hurt by other people, it is really hurt in heart. I have also hurt others, I knew it, because I was so upset or angry. Hurt makes us grow up faster. Be mature to accept hurt and forgive people and things. Hope us happy everyday!

I have been hurt by plenty of people, all of my life. All I do for these same people is help them and be nice to them! So, I am grown and have been for many years. I have been hurt enough for a lifetime!
