I went out late to buy a pizza. I ran into a group of people who'd been out drinking too much by the sound of it. A woman asked " can I have some of your pizza?" "No I'm hungry," I answered. "My god you're ugly," the woman screamed at me.

Godd*mn... The nerve of some people. I would've been like, "Sure, you can have some... if you pay me back the money I spent on it."

Years ago I got hooked on a show called I Shouldn't Be Alive. The first episode I saw was a terrifying account of an attack in a chimpanzee preserve. It is one of the scariest things I have ever seen.

I love that show! never saw that episode....

Yeah, the pizza was pretty good. It does annoy me how the world can intrude when I am minding my own business.

It happens, unfortunately, especially when people are drunk. To be honest she might've gotten upset because you didn't give her what she wanted. That is a big stain on her, not you.

@kiwong unreal. i am so sorry you had to endure this. and no, it reflects upon her, totally, not you at all.

just looked up and saw mikeyc just said the same thing... posting anyway.

I thought of a few things to say in hindsight, maybe throwing a piece in the gutter and saying, there it's yours. But at the time there was about seven in a group, including about 5 men. So to be honest I didn't want to get into a fight or anything

It seems like every time I am speaking to someone in my house they are too absorbed in whatever screen they happen to be in front of at the moment to hear a word being said. It's always, "Huh...? Wha... Oh, yeah, that's fine." *goes back to screen*

Sometimes I am met with rage explosions because how dare I interrupt this very important task they are performing? 24/7. On Instagram. Reading blogs. Facebooking. Texting. LAME.

Reminds me of Guy Montag's wife in Fahrenheit 451

*goes back to browsing the socialphobiaworld forums*

:/

Just drunken bullshit. She probably couldn't even see you straight enough to determine such a thing, anyway

Thanks, it's as much about the invasion of privacy. It's like when I am on a run and a dog decides to chase after me. You're minding you own business, and the world intrudes.

What?! She was high/drunk and generally a stupid c-word to say that to you.:thumbdown:

don't waste you're time thinking of it another second.

Ty for reminding me why I don't go out much. People are the worst species ever. Except for the people here

People can be okay, but when inebriated it can exaggerate already bad characteristics about a person - in Kiwong's case, unprovoked aggression. But yeah, if you want to avoid any kind of confrontation or invasion of privacy, going out on a Friday and Saturday night might not be your thing.

In some cases, I've found that nightclubs are "safe" places. 99% of people don't want to start a fight and they just want to have a drink and a dance and a good time. Most people that bump into me accidentally - male and female - apologise. I like that.

hmm..You don't have SA do you? Having an experience like he had is a million times worse if you do, since having SA means you go over and over in your head the event till you want to die. You seem very comfortable in public places to me. Are you a recovering then? I guess I am confused why it is so simple for you. I agree I never got out on Fri and Sat nights, I never go to bars and rarely set foot in any public eating establishments. It's torture and I hate it.
I feel really bad for someone like Kiwong who struggles so much with social situations to begin with then gets treated like sh*t when he tries.

Seems pretty easy for you from what I gather.

Well, there are different degrees of severity of SA. I can go out in public just fine. I do get anxiety in nightclubs/bars, but that's only because I look too young to be there. If I didn't, I wouldn't be nervous at all.

I think Mikey said before that his issue isn't SA as much as it is confidence with women. But hopefully he'll correct me if I'm wrong.

Sure. I know Kiwong has a severe case so I am relating to him more and not someone who can handle most situations, just not the opposite sex. It's hard for people to relate who don't know how difficult it is to do just simple things, like go out for pizza-then be shot down.
I think if you can go to night clubs for example you don't really relate to people who are really struggling to do just normal every day things.
I know he, Mikey, means well. I just feel awful for Kiwong. I think if the worst thing that happened to him was being bumped by a stranger and told "sorry" he would be a much happier person and not even be here most likely.

I do have anxieties but they are mostly centred around women. Depression and a lack of confidence are worse. There's more to it, but social anxiety is a smaller problem for me than depression.

I am definitely not downplaying what happened - you and everyone else here should know that's not my style - but trying to find a reasoning for her actions. I would hate it if a girl yelled at me and called me ugly, too. I'm sure everyone would, male or female.

Eating alone was not "easy" for me at first, but now it's okay after doing it multiple times. I can understand if you don't like it, because there's definitely some downsides to it.

I'm sorry if I offended you with my post.

This isn't really fair. I'm not here for shits and giggles, either.

You're right, April_Snow, some of the best people I have ever met are on here on this forum including yourself and MikeyC.

It's cumulative, all the stuff that people say, that can cause the sun to go behind the clouds, when a moment before it was out and shining in your own company.

Sorry if I offended you.

I think after so many years of having sh*t luck at anything I try, I have gotten a bit pissy.

I was thinking of starting a "Bitchy April's" Thread

I agree MikeyC, a lot of people are OK, there have been people who have show me kindness beyond what I could have ever expected. When someone is drunk they are not at their best. And I know it is hard for you, it is hard for all of us in different ways.

You are infinitely better than the person who screamed at you.

I'd rather have you as my friend than someone like that!
