See, when someone says something as fucking nasty as that, do they even know they might be giving you one of the most objectively mean insults you've ever heard in your life? I mean do they know it as they're delivering the line? Or are some people just that dip-shitted?

My father told me that I was "nothing" once during one of his depressive low points. Then again, we call each other all sorts of shit when arguments get heated enough. Better than a fistfight, I suppose

The Ripper.
When I was in 5th grade, we were having our daily reading time, so everyone was quiet, trying to concentrate on their books. I had both my legs propped up on the desk, when I felt a sneeze coming. I thought nothing of it, but to my surprise, as soon as I sneezed, I let loose the loudest, most painful fart experienced to man. Unfortunately I couldn't play it off, and when I looked up I met the gazes of 20+ students and my teacher who then began to burst into laughter. Thus I was known as The Ripper by everyone in my school.

"Da fuk is wrong wit yo teeth?"
Yes, that is exactly what I wanted to hear before performing my 10-minute lecture.
I greatly regret not slapping that cunt right across her mouth.

I've been called the dreaded N-word before, which surprised the hell out of me.
But the things that really stung were when I was told that not everyone goes to college when I asked my high school guidance counselor about scholarship opportunities. I mean, I had great grades and graduated with honors, but had no help in getting into college. And then my mom told me to drop out of college to work in a factory that was shutting down.
Then there was my ex who said I was "just giving up" when I was ready to go home after not being able to find a place I was looking for. The way she said it really bothered me.

Don't think I've had any devastating insults. The worst insult I got in the pathetic sense was two people who called me ugly and made fun of my shirt being inside out because I didn't let them push their way to the front of the bar.
Oh actually, my dad called me a lard bucket when I was a kid, and I was only slightly overweight. I was pretty hurt by that.

I don't think my personality is actually that bad, she had just seen the worst of me I suppose.

I'm not even Native American (although I can pass as one), but the pure racist tone really got my blood boiling.

Most insults don't even bother or phase me, or if they do, it's for like an hour at most.
But the one that stings the most is a girl calling me unattractive, now.
See, back in elementary school, I wasn't all that good looking at all, mainly only "cute" to adults. Then in HS, bam everything changed. And I got more attractive. But considering my anxiety since in my younger years I never really took "advantage" of puberty doing me any favors and thus never truly asked girls out for fear of rejection and ridicule. And NOW I find out sooo many fucking girls had a crush on me it's insanity, and probably tons more I'll never find out about most likely.
But, a girl calling me ugly or something even as a joke is almost enough to make a guy tear up. Almost.
:x Feels bad man.

I had a similar set of experiences as GrumpyAlien did, except in middle school and with a bit more sexual harassment. I'm not sure that is "the worst insults" I've heard because, really, being gay isn't an insult, but at the time it was devastating.
I also heard a girl in my eighth grade history class say that she wouldn't take her assigned seat next to me because she believed I was going to kill everyone and so she wanted to be seated near the door.
But I didn't really find that insulting, and it sort of amuses me in retrospect.

In grade 7 when we played soccer in gym I would breathe heavy as I was overweight. One of the girls saw this and then my nickname for the rest of elementary was blow hard.
Didn't effect me much at the time but two further years of being called blow hard really made me self-conscious about being over weight.

I got told I'm a coward for having depression and trying to walk around a problem (one of the tactics they teach you in a hospital...)
I was told many times through out my childhood that I look like a man (I'm a woman)...
That was what struck me hard growing up and killed my self-confidence asking any guys or even liking them.
What helped I think was getting out of puberty, cutting my hair to a shorter length, touching my hair up, embracing my acne scars, and lifting my head up to look brighter.

All insults bounce off of me, with the exception of one, probably because it was done by a robot.
Back when I weighed 80 pounds more than I currently do, in 2007, my brothers and I filmed a sketch comedy show for Myspace. In one segment, I was racing in the Amazing Race, dressed in only my underwear and a bowtie. This video was blocked by Myspace's algorithm, deeming it to be porn. Because of my then man-boobs.
That sucked. :-/

From myspace, about 4 or 5 years ago. I had a music page on there with a few covers that I did for funsies and sort of tongue in cheek. This guy, who was a friend of my "friend" posted this lovely comment on there:
"Upon first hearing the songs on your profile I was joyous. These songs were probably the funniest songs I had herd in a long time. I was telling my friend that you should make a Youtube video and be famous. Then he told me that you were a serious band; that you are actually trying to get big with this "music".
This immediately changed my opinion of your music. I wanted to throw up. How could anyone ever take your music seriously? No. Why give you credit by calling this music? This is not music. This is annoying noise. You have the worst vocals ever. The background screeching of the other instruments is not much better. I almost cried listening. You should stop writing music and covering songs and find something else to do that does not require any talent at all. Such as waste management or housekeeping. Scratch that. Suicide. Yes, suicide is your best option. It would do he whole world a favor. Better yet, find an awesome way to kill yourself, such as jumping off a skyscraper or cutting off everyone of your limbs very slowly....with a spoon, and have someone post it on the internet. Then you will be worth at least some entertainment value."

I got called ethiopian boy and starvin marvin a lot in high school.
On the same note, I had friend's dad who said I sounded like someone that would whoop your ass over the phone (deep voice), but in person, someone that would want to suck your dick (so skinny).
A girl, about 10-11 years old I guess, told their mom, "omg look how big that mans nose is". My wife was mad, but I laughed it off. I do have a big nose and the sad thing it doesn't work very well. Always getting sinus infections and having allergic reactions.
None of that really bothered me, though. I'm sure there have been times my feelings were genuinely hurt, but nothing comes to mind. Maybe I suppressed all those.

Predatory little fucks that think they make themselves look better by making other people look bad.
"I still love you but please understand that we can't be together, you're poor, we have a very different kind of family. And you always on the move because of your job while I really need someone to be with me and taking care of me....blablabla"
That came from a person who still live with her rich parents and never have to work for her expense. Yet she choose to be in relationship with a poor woman who just graduated and didn't have any job at all. A freakin stupid excuse when I caught her cheatin on my back after 2 years of serious relationship.
I said f**k that... I'm not an option. Glad I broke up with this selfish b*tch.

Simultaneous insult and awesome moment.
Elementary school - This one guy came in - pretty popular, and was handing out cupcakes for his birthday. In the end, he had one left and everyone wanted it, and he gave it to me. This one girl was like "why would you give it to him?" I ate it with pleasure.
Then again, I hung out with him even when the teachers told me he'd be a bad influence, and I shouldn't play with him. We'd been pretty good friends at a time. So I got that

In 9th grade, my math teacher (forgot what type of math it was lol) said I was "fucking retarded", a "dumbass" and keep calling me "stupid". Now mind you this class was easy, I barely did any work.. Most of my answers for questions would be "Your mom" and "Fuck You" and she would give me A's because I "made her laugh". At Points I had better grades than the kids who were actually trying to learn the stuff.
I don't know why it hurt me, as I know she was just playing but I guess hearing that from a teacher of all people is pretty bad. That was my frist year in a non-DoD school around normal kids, and the teachers were really shitty and just let you pass if you showed up to class.
Nobody wants to be called stupid I guess, but what point was there to even bother learning the material if I could pass by drawing dicks? I ended up after a week or two of it just retorting by calling her the C werdd, a bitch, or any other silly insult. I didn't dislike her, and I guess she saw it as "joking" on both sides, but it was really just me trying to defend myself in a shitty way. lol

Another, when I was young, around 9-10ish, and living in Okinawa(In the Yomitan area, for those who know where that is), there was a group of Japanese kids who would NOT play with me just because i was a "White and blue eyed devil", as told by the only one who could speak english. That was when I learned what racism was I guess, really hurt because I just wanted to play baseball with them, they wouldn't even let me watch(They would just sit there and wait for me to leave).. If I remember I heard them call me "gaijin" too a lot, of course I didn't really know what it meant, but gaijin isn't too bad. I felt bad for being a white devil~

The only insulting thing I can think of is when my father-in-law (to be, at the time) flat out called me fat. Granted, I was 50 lbs overweight, but no one else had ever called me out on it. Now I'm 50 lbs lighter, and I have him to thank for it.
Honestly, though, I often wonder how much people talk shit about me behind my back.

I got the same feeling too. I think it has to be with me being in a boys-only elementary school, so every achievement made public by the teachers was received with a round of booing and mocking. It was hard to feel proud when 95% of the class shoot you down because I was bad at sports. The you go to high school, the girls look at you with googly eyes when the teacher calls your name, and every single male in the class plots to destroy you, yet, you feel uncomfortable.
To this day, receiving any compliment felts forced and backwards, no matter how sincere it is (my ex-girlfriend got mad at me once for this).

After my parents divorce when I was 11 my mom took up with a dickhead ex-con. After living with us for a year he took me aside one day when my mom wasn't around and said "I'm not allowed to see my kids any more and I'm glad because I'm afraid they might have turned out like you."

OP: there it is. A bunch of babies I say.As for me, the worst that happened was being brutalized in front of a large group. I laughed the whole time and they were disappointed. Gotta roll with the punches. They don't got shit.
