unsure how to handle this
I used to go to two groups one at a community centre one at a mental health charity the one at community centre i went to as i had no freinds the mental health charity due to anxiety
The community centre i stopped going to about four months ago as somebody there didnt like me and had been verbally abusive i didnt instigate it the persons arrogant and i feel that he was either trying to get a reaction or doing it because hes a bully and knew i wouldnt react
So the issue i have is that a lot of the same people go to both groups including th one who had been abusive and hes continued to have an attitude either trying to belittle me or make comments and laugh i cant prove its at me but because of how hes acted before i feel it is and hes doing it to make me feel unconfortable
Today i was at mental health charity it has walk in groups where anybody can attend and although that person wasnt there there was clearly an atmosphere and attitudefrom most who were there
I had said that i went to an island at weekend on a steamboat i got told the island was a lot if shit there was nothing to do i said i enjoyed it then said there were baby dolphins swimming beside boat at one point of course one of staff had to go one better saying she had swam with dolphins in costa rica florida and somewhere else she said she had visitiged
I was then asked aboutpet rats i had by somebody only to be met with discust by others and there were comments about them being filthy unhygenic and vermon
I then tried giving one person a box of cookies as a group she was in a couple of weeks ago run by same organisation gave me some biscuits so i tried returning gesture this was refused
Is there any advice on how to handle people when thwy behave like that as there was clearly an atmosphere and attitude and i was only one on recieving end
And before anybody puts blame on mei was last in there last monday no atmosphere no atitude everybody got on fine so i feel that between then and today somebody or people have been stirring
