Anon please.
I guess you could say it wasn't entirely unprovoked, but it honestly hurt my feelings so much I don't know what to do.
Basically I was out Wednesday night and was havinga really good laugh with friends, the club wasn't overly busy but not completely empty either, there was this couple kissing about 10m away from us, which I didn't really pay attention to, I mean it's a club, it happens. Anyway, over the next ten minutes they started moving towards my group and it got to the point where they right up in my face, it wouldn't usually annoy me, but they were blocking the way from my friends and there was room for them to move back a bit, so I gave a bit of an elbow into the guys back. The girl got the hint and moved back, however this guy started having a huge go at me.
At first it was just stupid stuff, like why did I do that blah blah, I kept calm, but then he pulled out the 'you're just jealous' card, I was shocked and certainly not jealous at all, I just told him to go find his girl but he persisted, he then said things like he could understand why I would be 'because I was really ugly, no guy would ever want to go near me.' I kinda laughed it off and said I had a boyfriend (not true, but I thought he'd drop it) to which he replied he felt sorry 'for the mug who had to wake up to see me every morning.' I was hurt, but tried not to show it and just told him to go away and finally got back to my friends.
There was only about 10 minutes until the end at this point so I decided to put on a brave face and finish the night, however I couldn't stop thinking about what he said, and burst into tears as soon as I walked out the club. I know I'm no victoria secret model, but I wouldn't think i'm totally horrendous either, I haven't had many boyfriends and guys aren't flocking at my feet but my already low self esteem has taken a massive knock from this and I haven;t been able to get over it, except for lectures I haven't left my room since then and I don't really want to go out anymore as I'm worried it's what everyone thinks. How do I pick myself back up and get over this?!
