Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply, Anita!

You’re absolutely right, there’s no point in confronting people like him as ultimately I am the one who is suffering for it!

There’s no physical or tangible threat here, and no good reason still to be upset about it. My contact with him is very minimal and everyone I know and care about thinks he’s a bully and a waste of space. I’m definitely making it worse by allowing it to consume my thoughts!

I need to break out of this habit/cycle/thought process… but I suppose it’s figuring out how to do it that’s the tricky part!

Thank you again for your advice 🙂
