Not every comment found on social media is a gem. While some people will post comments that are fun and even inspiring to others who stumble across a post, this is far from the truth in many cases. The online world allows people to effectively hide behind a screen when they're coming up with things to say, so that they may remain anonymous in whatever horrible nonsense they decide to put out into the world. And as it turns out, that horrible nonsense can be pretty, well, horrible.

The following comments were gathered by concerned Redditors over on /r/cursedcomments, where the most uncalled-for comments are shared. And not a lot phases Redditors, so that's saying something. All of these comments said something they weren't supposed to say, and some of them are still pretty funny. From mildly depressing to just plain disturbing, here are the social media comments that made people feel uncomfortable this week.
