I'm probably lucky not to have had that many insults thrown at me, though of course not been totally unscathed. Had a few when I was growing up, which oddly enough I often took as terms of affection sometimes (such as being called names for wearing glasses which I just found kind of funny!). Some of the things my family said to me in tense moments were very hurtful.
These days the thing I find most insulting of all is being ignored. Like last year I met someone off OKcupid, she had every chance to decide she didn't like me, but when I suggested we go somewhere else, she tagged along, then she even suggested we go for some food and we seemed to get on like a house on fire. Then she gave me a hug when we left. So I left it a few hours, texted her to say it was good to meet her, she didn't reply, messaged her again on Okcupid, no reply. Feeling like I'm not even worth a "sorry, but didn't think we clicked" I found very insulting - like what was I, some chump just to play a game with?!
Then there was the friend I've known for over 4 years, we meet up occasionally, usually at her place or out somewhere. A few weeks ago we had a nice evening as usual, so later on I texted to say it would be nice if she visited my place for a change sometime, so I could cook instead, and also sent her some big news I just had.
3 weeks later I still haven't had a reply to the 2 messages I sent. Before that she said she didn't text much as the keys on her phone were failing, but last time I saw her she had a brand new phone...
I guess it's that kind of thing I find more insulting than anything these, for some reason, as I believe I deserve to be treated so much better than that!
