Worse than insulting their appearance, their social status, their family, worse than a racial slur.

You’re telling someone that their soul, their very being, sucks. This is something you would say to someone if you didn’t want to ever hear from them again.

What is this if not fighting words?

Yet scour any dating or employment subs, and you’ll find this string of words thrown around as constructive criticism. No different than telling someone their shoes are untied.
