  Someone told me once that I was naive--no the phrase he used was frighteningly naive. That really stung. I felt like he was insinuating that I was childish or stupid in some way.
  My husband is probably the one who knows exactly what to say to insult me. I'd like to think it's unintentional but sometimes I wonder.

  these days, the biggest insults are hurled from my oldest daughter.....usually in the form of 'mom, you don't understand!'.....that makes me insane.

  my standard comeback is 'try me'.  but it doesn't always work.

  Mimi, I was actually told by an ex-boyfriend that he thought I was childish.  Needless to say one reason why he's an ex.
  
  Other then being called a bitch....hmm I would have say being told I'm stupid or that I can't do something.   That just insults me to no end.

  I hate being called hormonal. My boyfriend and I were having an argument one day. I was right, he knew it and didn't want to own up to it so opted to say, "God! Are you pmsing...you're being so hormonal !"  It really got to me.

  Oh my gosh i hate it when guys throw that at us during a fight.

  I hate when people call me a jerk.

  I hate being told "you shouldn't feel that way".  I think my feelings are just as valid as the next person's.

  ARGGGGGGG I just hate being told I am acting like myself.  Well hell what does that mean?  My husband once said, "You are having PMS"  I knew he was right but I went into a tirade "Don't tell me what I have, you don't know me man, you don't know me.  YOu want to see real PMS  I'll fuck you up."  Then I sat down and drooled.

  CW: only an idiot would try to invalidate the way someone else feels.
  
  personally, i have a pretty long fuse and my responses when someone is deliberately trying to insult me are generally the same: apathy.
  
  i don't generally believe that there is an insult that would cause me to fly off the handle. that isn't something i'm particularly eager to put to the test, though. :>

  Thanks guys. I could really relate to some of these other insults. The PMS one was used by my mom whenever I got upset about her treating me like crap. Maybe it was when I was PMSing that I was brave enough to tell her that she'd upset me...  :-p

  CW, silver is right. You have a right to feel how you feel and it's no one else's right to make you feel like you shouldn't.

  mom, as always, you kill me! Can I asked why you drooled tho???  ehheheheh

  I have another one that motivated me to overdo things when I couldn't... Being called a "girl". Weird huh? If someone said, "You're acting like such a girl." I'd get REALLY mad and totally overdo what I was doing and end up hurting myself to prove I wasn't! Ummmm... Yah.

  LOL, Purr when you get to be old, just parts of you don't work right if you are not paying attention, so if I am relaxed and watch tv, I drool (well not really but it could happen).

• purrrkitten said on Jan 14, 2007....

  ehehehhehehe... I only drool when there's someone really hot that I'm watching on tv...

  Well, this background pic of Tony Stewart on my computer that I see all the time makes me have a couple of little dribbles escape...

  If you'd like I can send it to you...  *wicked grin*

  I've been told that I can be too harsh on people. I'm a artist and when in school we often give critisicm. Many people thouhgt I should lighten up I was only trying to be honest. I would want the same.

• harriedpsychmajor said on Jan 20, 2007....

  I agree with CW on the "you should..." line of thought. You have no idea how much I loathe the word "should." It carries such demeaning connotations, especially when appended to generic advice such as "well, if you like her you should go talk to her." I find it particularly insulting when people tell me what I should do, should not do, or worst of all should (or shouldn't) have done.
  
  To doyoulikeme-
  I've faced a similar situation as someone who enjoys writing. While I was at school people would get a little frustrated with me when they asked me to go over their essays for them. They wanted feedback and they got it, so what reason do they have to be offended at any suggestions?
