As someone who has suffered with mental health issues myself, I can tell you that partnering with strangers in situations like this can be extremely stressful and distressing for someone dealing with anxiety or Asperger’s.
He probably didn’t know how to express himself acceptably and was highly distressed about the entire idea of having to partner with someone. So yes, he was rude but please understand it’s nothing at all to do with you.
Sask - this is a gym whereby every class requires you to partner with a co gym member at a station , he often attends classes every week. This was not a new situation to him. He is just an incredibly pompous turd as I took him aside the week after to explain that his comments were rude and hurtful - he just pushed me aside and sniggered “go away”
OMG that's just out of bounds, then. WTF! Horrible. Where is this guy, let me at him. I'll show that bully who's not going away!
In all seriousness though, this still has nothing to do with you and everything with his own issues. What a miserable, sad person one must be do treat others so badly.
Hope you're feeling better, @gymgoer
