People shared the outrageous insults that they still think about – 23 hauntingly specific slights

It doesn’t take much to keep us awake at night – getting in bed and trying to go to sleep usually does the trick.

But sometimes there’ll be a very specific thing that gets us tossing and turning under the covers. And when we say thing, what we really mean is outrageously specific insult.

Sometimes it might not even have been meant as an insult (probably was, though) but it still haunts nonetheless.

Why are we wanging on like this? Because it took us back to this question asked over on Reddit by Snyd777 back in the day.

‘What is something that someone has said to you, that made you self-conscious ever since?’

And if there’s something hurtful someone said to you years ago that you still remember today, it turns out you are not alone.
