I feel terrible now

[BooRadleyIsFree]

Just bumped into someone I hadn't seen for 15 years and he said "you've doubled in size since I last saw you." Now I know that it's true but I feel so awful now 😔

What a horrible thing for them to say.

Instead of feeling terrible, can you turn it into motivation to make some positive changes?

“And you’ve become double the twat you once were”
I’m sorry, OP, some people are utter dick heads

Shocking rudeness

You aren’t the one who should feel terrible. He should, for being a rude, insensitive, dickhead.

OMG, that was a blast from the past you could have done without!
What a nightmare, who would even say something like that?
I would focus on the fact that in 15 years he has managed to develop no social skills at all.

May you not have the misfortune to meet them for another 15 years at least.

Someone did this to me after giving birth op.

Upon greeting her one year after I last saw her she gestured with her hands and inflated her cheeks and said “well you don’t look like a model anymore so you”.

My immediate impression was to think that she must’ve really felt threatened by my good weight before and now she enjoys the fact I’m not all that.. and wants some advantage.

Some people are incredibly petty at being one uppers. They are competing with their shadow

So rude

What an idiot

Thanks for your messages. It obviously hurt my feelings and was so shocked that he'd said it. As always I thought of good come backs about 10 minutes afterwards!

That sort of person never takes any notice of witty comebacks.

Exactly

Pointless wasting energy on them

If it makes you feel any better I bumped into an ex about a year after we split, he looked at me and said "jesus you've put on weight, you look now like I imagined you'd look after you'd popped out 3 kids". I just laughed at him...the reason I'd been so thin when I was going out with him was because I was so fucking miserable!

People who make those kinds of comments simply aren't worth a response.

What a prick

What an awful, unnecessary thing to say. Don't let it upset you, it's completely irrelevant to who you are and all the things you've been doing for the last 15 years.

What a cunt

Hope you are ok

That's horrible to say! Don't feel down OP

That is a really unkind and tactless thing to say. It's easy to say "don't be hurt", but that comment says everything about him. And it's far, far worse to be unkind like that than to be overweight.

You're not the one who should be feeling terrible, what a prick he is.
Ps, I’d rather be overweight than a dick (I am overweight ).

They werent worth the witty comeback!
