Words can either build up or tear down. We need to be careful how we use our words. I have had people say words that stick with me for years. One hurtful phase that was said to me in high school still comes to mind every now and then. A person called me "horse face". I can't remember the face of the person that said those words but the words are still painful.
I have heard so many good words spoken that have had a lasting effect on me. These word include: loveable, considerate, competent, beautiful, special, wonderful, awesome, and smart. These words are so uplifting and help me during rough times. They help me erase the old tapes from my childhood. They help me see myself in a different light. They build me up. We should all speak words that uplift others.

Amen sister Wanda - I could not agree more.
My folks always said,,,"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." I can only imagine that people who say mean things have low self-esteem and are trying to make themselves feel better. To me, kindness is so easy.
yes to this Wanda...words hurt so much and once they get in our heads it's hard to get them out.
another word that describes you is
Loved
Agreed, I do believe if you have nothing good to say, don't say anything.
I am not sure where you are getting your information, but good topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or understanding more. Thanks for fantastic info I was looking for this information for my mission.
The bullying that I endured in school still sticks with me, and I am nearly 50.
