A guy told me I look like Shrek

I agree with what others have said, but one added piece of advice...

Think of a one liner to say in these situations. I always felt better if I could say something back. For example, I've used this when people are mean for no real reason:

"Wow, you must have really low self esteem that you need to randomly be cruel to others. I hope you feel better soon."

Then if they get even more mean, because they're mad you called them out, I just say... "I wish the best. Good luck"

I used this strategy in High school and was left alone after that, because the reaction they got from me wasn't the one they wanted.

thank you. But I wouldn’t want to say anything back because he would’ve just continued to say mean things and dismiss me. Which is why I didn’t reply at all. Maybe it’s not a good reason, but I was just trying to protect myself.

Not replying at all is fine. No witty retort is needed, and is not your style. You are delightful as you are and will be fine. Keep your head high knowing you are kind and respectful of others.

OP. Hugs first of all. But realize that this jerk is peaking in High School. The real world will set him straight soon enough. You are a better person by virtue of this awful experience. You know compassion and how to treat others and that will get you far in life.

What a great young woman you are. The fact that you wanted to thank each and every poster tells me that you are a kind, considerate and thoughtful person. These qualities will ensure that you will always draw quality people to you. You're gonna have a really wonderful adult life! Hang in there!

Kind of like when a girl makes a small penis joke. It says nothing about you and everything about him. Not only is he awful and insecure. He is also not creative or very smart. He wanted to feel big by making you feel small. Don’t give him that. Don’t let him or his words live in your head. Your value isn’t even in your appearance. Your value is who you are, what you do and how you treat people. You are worthy. Look for ways to be kind to others this weekend. Do something nice for someone - that will make you feel better and it will also make the person you help feel better. I’m sorry this happened and I know it hurts. I’m 51 and I still remember the names I was called in high school. Be better than him. ❤️

+1 to this. I came here to say that him saying this to you reflects volumes about him and nothing about you.

You are not a waste of space. You are loved and you are important. Don't let the ba$tard$ get you down.

+1. His behavior is about him and not you. He is insecure. High school is not forever but that doesn’t make it less painful. Take good care of yourself and be kind

All of these posts replying to me really touched my heart, every single one. Just the sole fact that people like you take the time. Thank you so much❤️

Yeah, sometimes silence is louder than words. And I promise you op, that one day this jerk is going to remember what he said to you and hate himself for it. You won’t have to go through that regret in your life because you’re a good, kind person. Hugs to you op! Enjoy your Saturday ❤️

Well, OP, you just inspired me to talk with my own HS son...I told him about this and how this casual, cruel words can really hurt someone...he said, "don't worry about me mom, that guy's an a**hole. I'm not an a**hole." Not just moms and adults who think this guy is jerk...I hope you feel better.

Funny how society works. I just read Lauren Sanches thread and women called her ugly and trashy, but that is ok I guess.
