Hiding from the world won't solve a serious problem. It's time to confront a bully who keeps undermining your confidence. Instead of avoiding places this pest inhabits, go there regularly. Eventually, you will cross paths again. Take a deep breath and tell them what you think of their behaviour. Give specific examples of how their remarks have hurt your feelings. Your direct approach will shame them into silence. If there's anything abusive people hate, it's having their behaviour exposed in a public forum.
