It\u2019s amazing how one comment or glance can flip a good day upside down. These people shared moments that hit hard but taught them to move on \u2014 and laugh about it later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I went on a date with a guy from the gym. Everything was perfect until he lost his phone. The waitress found it \u2014 and showed me my name saved as \u201cPancake bottom girl.\u201d That was the last time I saw him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My 4th-grade teacher once told me, in front of everyone, \u201cDefinitely not a singing part for you.\u201d It took years before I could sing again \u2014 even alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My ex told me, \u201cI was never happy with you; I just thought I should be.\u201d Then married someone else on our old anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A crush said yes to a date \u2014 then texted the next day: \u201cI\u2019m not looking to date anyone right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A sweet old man once told his friends, \u201cShe\u2019s beautiful, but her smile is terrible.\u201d I cried in the kitchen until the cooks tried cheering me up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My friend\u2019s crush told him, \u201cI\u2019d want a guy like you\u2026 but not you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After five years living in my sister\u2019s basement, I finally got my own apartment. Two weeks later, my company announced it was shutting down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 7th grade, I found out I was dumped when my girlfriend\u2019s friend said, \u201cHa ha, you two aren\u2019t dating anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Someone once yelled, \u201cYou guys are hot,\u201d and when I said thanks, she replied, \u201cNot you, Amity \u2014 the other one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At lunch with a VP, hoping for a job, I got this follow-up: \u201cYou\u2019re nice and smart, but you seem mediocre.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And once, my dad ruined a great first day at my new job with just five words: \u201cYou should be more active.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes it takes just one sentence to break your heart \u2014 or change how you see yourself forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
