I am sorry for your bad experiences though. It is cliche but it is really them and not you.
I think it really is. There is something about computer life and behind the screen life that makes people far more bold to be rude, dismissive and abusive even.

I have observed online behavior for many years now. And that's my conclusion. People feel emboldened to do and say things they wouldn't do or say in person.
