Reddit user BlondCurvyDiva asked: 'What's the worst thing that's ever been said to you?'

When parents see their children grow aggressive and resort to hitting and throwing things, they often tell their children to "use their words".

While violence is never the answer, this advice might not always be the best advice, as sometimes words can hurt much harder than a punch or being hit in the head by a flying object.

Indeed, some people are still finding ways to recover from things people have said to them in the past.

Be it a demeaning insult or learning news they hoped they would never hear in their lives.
