[quote=Anonymous]OP, he was trying to hurt you and knew what to say to do it. It doesn’t make his words about you valid. I mean there are internet bloggers/influencers out there who are literally gorgeous and people in the comments will call them ugly. It’s such an easy insult to throw at any woman regardless of how she looks. And you know he was off base on so many comments because you have multiple coworkers coming to your defense to say they do value you and you are an important team member. That right there should be enough to confirm that his ramblings are without merit.

The only thing I would reflect on is that he somehow singled you out because you must have seemed like someone easy to pick on. Is there something about you that makes you vulnerable (I know age/sex discrimination is a thing and you can’t really change those characteristics about yourself). But if you think maybe you project low confidence in general or something else that made for easy pickings, perhaps you could explore that I therapy and find a way to rebuild confidence.

And I will add that even the most resilient person would be shaken by this. It sucks because presumably you need your job, so this attack is entertwined with your literal livelihood. You can’t just run away from it. I’m so sorry. [/quote]
