A good friend once said to me: "You're a zero". It made me feel really shit and angry at the time, and stuck with me for a long time as well. I was more emotionally vulnerable then as well, which didn't help. He said later that he'd said it to provoke a reaction from me. Anyway, it's all water under the bridge now, and I'm in a much better place now than I was then. We're still good friends, and support each other a lot.
