I Attract Horrible People / Some Humans Are So Awful

I don't think anyone will believe me about my morning today, but I don't care. It's too real. Way too real.

I walked into an office that I had a meeting at this morning. It was to go over possibly working for this organization on a contractual basis.

I walked in and the director came out and started screaming at me for a project I have no involvement with. I tried to deescalate them, used an app on my phone to silently request police help, and got the hell out of there as fast as I could.

But they grabbed my shirt and shook me and hit me, closed fist, before I got out of there. I just kept trying to talk them down until they got out of the doorway so I could leave.

I left before even the police arrived. I reached out to a friend who contacted the organization and told them I will not be working for them and they are to never contact me again.

A volunteer there called me and said I did nothing to provoke this, it wasn't my fault, it freaked them out too, and the person had been known for being aggressive and losing their temper at times.

I'm ok, they actually didn't hit me that hard. I'm kind pissed about all the work I did just to get the contract drafted and to get the job... Yeah, yeah, o will follow up with the victim advocate with the police to do whatever I decide to do. File a statement or whatever. I don't know. They are calling me as I type.

Right now, I'm trying to keep myself from coping with this badly.

My therapist says I have a knack for running into the worst of the worst....

Trying to not blame myself for that fact.

They called me a dirty whore. That's all that is rattling in my brain. It's almost like I want to believe that so this shit makes sense.

For a few minutes, I stopped believing it, and a tremendous amount of pain, emotional pain, came up and I screamed. Just screamed while sitting on my kitchen floor.

Some humans are so awful.

Thanks for letting me post this.

Trying to pull myself together and get on with my day and not let this crap person take away anything else from me.

I guess! Sometimes it seems like if it wasn't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all. But I can't imagine how you could go about setting something like that up if you wanted to. You know? So, obviously NOT YOUR FAULT. But there are definitely a lot of wacko's running around loose. At least you found out about this one BEFORE you went to work for them!
 
They sound like they have serious issues. They don't even know you to call you a "dirty whore". It's just an insult commonly thrown around to insult and put down women. If you were overweight they would have said, fat pig. It really has nothing to do with how you actually are as a person.
That being said I would follow up with the victim advocate and think about pressing charges. Then at the very least that person would be fired and the rest of the coworkers wouldn't have to deal with him.
 
Completely believe this.

My ex-employer was a raging alcoholic who I knew to be a hothead but still got along with him amicably and just looked past it until what happened happened. I haven't written about it yet. He ended up yelling at me in front of whole company and screaming "I dare you to use your life savings to sue me!!" which I think he was saying because he was afraid of exactly that and knew how much paper trail there was that he had broken the law. Five weeks later he laid off every other employee and shut down the company. Ex employees at the time including the co-founders encouraged me to sue him but I never did, his intimidation tactics worked.

I wonder if such people just keep going forever because no one ever does press charges. Good luck to you however you proceed.

I laughed hard when I read your title because I relate! I can't believe the stuff I find myself in the middle of. I wear my shame too often and I think bullies and predators sense it. I am so sorry about your terrible ordeal! If you need an ear, I'm here.
 
Sorry to hear about what happened to you, It's sad that people can be cruel like this specially at a place of employment. I'm very happy to hear that you are ok and were not severely hurt. I would press charges and let that person know that what they did was wrong. If not who knows how many others they have done this to or will do to in the future.
 
Thanks for the support everyone. I was just beginning to drown in the thoughts of "why did this happen? I'm a freak, I deserve this, that's why it happened" when I came back here and read your posts. It helped me pull out if that black hole of irrational self blame.

Thankfully (?) they yelled so loud they are being charged no matter what I do.

I'm beginning to feel less jittery.
