So at work I came in during a busy time and felt flustered because I was trying to park my car and get to work on time. All the sudden one of the coworkers says hello in a friendly way and I said hey nervously back and didn't think much of it. But no, the other coworker he was walking with says "oh she's scared hahaha" and makes me feel really mad. This same guy comes to me and asks a question and then I answer it and then say "by the way don't tell me how you think i'm feeling okay" (actually i'm not sure exactly now but something like that) but it was in a dominating tone of voice heh :D and then he just glared at me. Was I being unreasonable? I feel slightly bad but not really bad about it :p

That sounds hurtful, I think you had a lot of guts to stand up for yourself. Sometimes things other people say hurt me but many times I ignore it because I'm too nervous to go up to them. I think you have a right to defend yourself when people are being rude. Just don't go overboard or stoop with them.

I'm glad you stood up for yourself.
It didn't sound unreasonable to me at all.
They were judging you meanly saying you were scared so you took your stand and you shouldn't regret it. But, I understand you might feel a little bad. Perhaps next time you see him you can clear it up and just say 'sorry for being a little rude when you asked me if I was okay', just to keep common ground.

Good comeback, sounds like you got to him. I wouldn't really worry about it if I were you. Reminds me of a goth lyfe skit where he says, "First of all, don't tell us how we feel" lol goth humor

He wasn't funny if that was his intention so what you said was fine. I used to give comebacks but now i mainly ignore those sorts of outbursts. It shows that they clearly have problems with people skills anyway. So dont feel bad if you say nothing or respond, its them being rude.

People in general suck, especially coworkers.. I recieved remarks about being stupid and many other things because I was unable to speak to anyone or make eye contact with anyone. I'm glad you were able to talk back to that callous moron.. :)

Don't feel bad, not unreasonable at all.
There's a supervisor at work I can't stand, I cropdust that fool daily. That's probably unreasonable, but I don't care. lol.
