Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Last night I was coming home from work on the bus. I was exhausted but there was no place to sit so I had to stand for maybe 10 minutes. When a seat opened up I took it. I am very, very overweight so I usually try to sit away from people so I don't crowd thier space but last night the bus was unusually crowded. I was so tired I just sat down. I guess my hip touched the guy next to me and he said that he didn't like to be touched. I told him I was very sorry but I only had a few more blocks to go. He told me that wasn't good enough and I shouldn't be so selfish. I again told him I was sorry. He then started getting really vile with me and I was so scared I just sat there saying nithing. He was so mad I could feel his spit on my face and he was just calling me the worst of worst names. I decided I'd just get off and walk home but then got stuck against the pole as I tried to stand up which just gave him more ammunition to berate me. Finally I wiggles loose and got off the bus at the next stop. I was just happy to be away from that guy.

Another lady got off with me and first asked if I was ok. I said I was used to it at this point. But then she started getting mad at me for not sticking up for myself. I told her I was sorry and then she said I was always going to be everyone's asshole if I keep acting so pathetic and walked away in the opposite direction.

I hate confrontation so much but I've been playing both altercations over and over in my head and feel like such an asshole and loser. Am I an asshole?
