Describe a time when someone offended you with their words.

 During high school, I was discussing a class project and shared my ideas. A classmate interrupted, saying, "That’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard." I felt embarrassed and belittled by his comment. His comment really hurt my feelings and showed me how damaging words can be. Later, I spoke with him about it, which helped me realize the importance of support among classmates. This experience encouraged me to share my ideas more confidently, despite the fear of negative feedback.
