For me the best was when my drama club teacher said that even though I have a greater struggle than other people to learn different things like playing the guitar and other stuff my results will be bigger, more rewarding and I'm going to be more successful than they ever will be.

Thing the worst will be hard for me since again there's so many horrible things that was said to me but I think the worst was when my grandmother said no wonder people don't like you and no wonder the kids pick on you.

Best: "You have a gift. You're unlike anyone I've ever met."

Worst (yelling): "Are you weird? Are you strange?"

Positive: I've been told by some of my friends that I'm the one they trust the most.

Negative: My mom said there wasn't any return slip on me when they realized how I were. We were fighting, probably about something trivial. I used to end up fighting with my parents a lot in that period. I said something like "it's not my fault I was born," and that's when she said this.

Positive: This manager of recording artists once looked at my combination of skills and said, "You're very intense." I took that as a compliment.

Negative: My mother on Christmas Day, after finding a secret love letter I'd written to another guy, said, "If I find out you're gay I'm gonna slit your throat from ear to ear."

Had a pretty bad one at christmas party this year, in a club with music playing. A pair of girls has started talking to me, actually giving come compliments. I went back to them later and tried to do the whole "am I dancing near you or with you?" thing and tried to talk to them again.

But they kept saying "why do you look so awkward" over and over in horrified voices.

Best: "You are a very resilient person."

Worst: "You aren't a lesbian, you're just going through a phase after watching a TV show about it."

Worst: 'You don't believe in God? No wonder you've got such a lousy personality.'

The best and worst occurred on the same day in relation to each other.
Worst: having a workmate tell me he didn't want a mongoloid touching his machine.
Best: having the manager of the Factory tell the man that I knew more about any machine in that building than all of the other people combined.

that one is funny as its very obvious when someone unfortunately comes under the ancient insult of 'mongoloid' aka people with downs, think someone needs to go to specsavers for an eye test. :wink:
being as blind as a bat surely is worse in that environment than having a dependable autist working for them,.

One of the best things anyone has ever said to me was that I am pretty and meant it.

One of the worst things anyone has ever said to me was ''we wasn't speaking to you'', when I was only trying to join in a casual conversation. I'll say that was probably the worst things ever said to me because it's what has basically set me back socially.

Oh so many...
Good: I love you, you're smart(est person here), you're nice, you're argumentative but not in the douchebag way you just love a good debate, you have an amazing voice, you're understanding, that music you wrote is beautiful and it's like I can see into your soul when you play

Bad: My dad when I was playing a video game, in the midst of my many years of deep depression, 'You know you could just put that effort into doing something productive'. My mom when she thinks I don't try hard enough for doing, well, anything, although it's nothing said in so many words. 'I don't want to be your friend anymore' from a friend when I was 10.

Even the bad isn't all that bad. It's even true to degrees of course. But it's the judgement that hurts, that's the worst of it, by far. Random insult x, I dunno, I've probably gotten many of those but if it doesn't count unless I care about who it comes from, and as such I've forgetten about them and I don't care.

Hmm, I must be in a good mood for there to be so many good things and not many bad things. :-)

The best thing I've been told:
You seem very blokish. You don't look one bit feminine. -By a trusted person on WP.

The worse thing I've been told:
There are lots of things that everybody can do that you will never be able to do, and part of it is because you have a Learning Disability. - By my dad.

You're a girl and girl is a compliment to Shelby. - By my mum.
