How Do You Tell Someone The Words They Said Hurt You?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Louisville, KY

How do you let them know without getting all emotional 😭 without looking like a baby. It's very vulnerable to open up and let someone know how their words made you feel but I want to stand my ground and be understood not pitied.

Thanks everyone I talked to my mom over the phone and I did cry but it wasn't horrible she understood and apologized and even said if someone had said those things to her she would have been hurt too.
