Lost my confidence...and feeling self-conscious

I went out for a walk the other evening and I was just walking along when a car beeped me for like no reason. I suddenly felt really self-conscious : S.
I was just wearing jogging bottoms and a long sleeve top and trainers. And this happened when I was walking to work last, ages ago. It was a group of chavs in the car.
I’ve started to feel really self-conscous wherever I go now and I haven’t been out in two days. A couple of months ago I was verbally abused by two girls (they were chavs, tut tut) and they were talking really loudly about just me (not about my friend) whilst I was shopping with a friend. They didn’t even know me, but were saying I looked “really stuck-up” and other horrible stuff about my clothes. We were just shopping and chatting minding our own business.
It really scared me as they followed us and confronted me and I haven’t really recovered since. :’(
I just don’t know how to get my confidence back…i was really confident last year but i just seem to have retreated into myself recently :frown:
:hugs:

Chavs, unfortunately are like that. They are just utterly horrible. At the weekend a group of them told me to get out of my town because of what I was wearing. It might sound difficult but try to ignore them.
