Remember the saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”?
Actually, that is not true. Words can “kill us softly”………..on the inside.
“You’re fat!”
“You’re ugly!”
“You disgust me!”
“Get out of my face!”
“Don’t nobody want you!”
“You’re lazy!”
“You’re a loser!”
“You’re stupid!”
“You will NEVER be anything!”
