God this shit stings op. And stays with you. The issue is him not you,
Years ago I was at an event, having a great time with some friends, laughing and dancing. This woman my age at the time, mid twenties, who I’d never met before, stood up and walked over the hall and stood next to me, I turned smiled and said hi and she said “ you do know you look like boy George don’t you?”
I was honestly stunned. I responded, “ you do know boy George is a man don’t you” and she gave me this cats arse smirk and nodded yes, so I asked her why she’d felt the need to stand up and walk a hundred feet over to me. a complete stranger, to tell me that, ans she just stood there like a total lemon staring at me.
My friends got upset on my behalf, and told her she was out of line and to fuck off, but she just stood staring at me, clearly to see if I was upset. But I just stared back confused and asked her why she felt so driven to insult a total stranger
I clearly don’t look like boy George, other than long day hair, (😂) the issue was hers and hers alone, and that’s what you need to remember. The issue is his and his alone. Don’t make it yours. The reason it stayed with me was because it was just such an odd thing to feel driven to go snd insult someone.
He’s a bully, the issue is his report it and let someone else deal with him. Because you won’t be the first or the last he’s tried to bully. It will be someone else tomorrow
