There are times when words hurt more than actions do. Especially so if they come from the mouth of someone you thought you were close with. Bonus points if the addressee doesn't quite * get * why their words were hurtful. Mix these three things—hurtful words coming from your loved one without them being aware of being an a-hole—and you get the perfect combination to mess with someone's self-esteem.

When one young woman asked people on Twitter "what are things a guy has said to you that he has no idea severely hurt your feelings?" dozens of people delivered. While we're not saying that only guys say offensive things, this list is precisely about that—30 people sharing the times that a man has hurt their feelings without being aware of it. So scroll down to see the full list and tell us in the comments below whether * you * have ever been offended by a guy who thought he was just being honest!

Start saving and showing him photos of super hot men who also look as unlike him as possible.

If he'd only stopped at the first half of that, he might've come off sweet

My narc ex followed all these model chicks and showed them to me, even. Half naked chicks. I asked him the same, and he told me the exact same thing as your ex did.. just hilarious. My ex was such a bully.

But did she not keep any hot guys pics? Not even one? I don't think so. Everyone's sinned.

Okay his response is wrong and he's garbage, but unpopular opinion: having a partner doesn't mean you're the most beautiful to them (in appearance); but that doesn't mean they don't love you. Isn't having celebrity crushes perfectly normal...?

Really? So what? Is it forbidden to look at other people just because you're with a possessive girl?

I hope you burned the bridge that was between you. Along with the rest of his stuff.

"ED" in this case means Eating Disorder. (Not Erectile Dysfunction)

What's wrong with both? Having a scholar for a girlfriend would be awesome. Sitting by the fire, drinking cognac, discussing why Freud made everything about Penis Envy, and how much acid Piet Mondrian must have dropped when he started with his grid-based paintings.

That guy was one of those things that women are getting unsolicited pics of.

At least you learnt from it - I did and said some s****y things in my past, but I learnt from them and try to not repeat the mistakes.

This is why it's important to know people's "love languages." He may not be ok with telling you you're pretty but if he's expressing his love for you in other ways (being faithful, telling the truth kindly, buying you treats, doing chores, etc.) then he may still love you very, very much. But people can learn to express themselves in new ways when they need to, or if they want to.

Hey... At least he was polite about the rejection ? Idk, maybe he just didn't wanna say he didn't like you right to your face.
