I understand this situation quite well. First, I think your feelings come from your own insecurity. I mean this in the best possible way too Cabo. I suffer from deep self hatred and have only recently begun to forgive the kid inside me. This is part of my recovery. I can understand your feelings though and I would use my money and status as a defense but it would be a fake defense and my ego would be bruised and when my ego is bruised I fight or I run (flight). In this process I would usually drink to punish myself too.

Recognize these people are sick. They are the ones that should be insecure not you. This guy is upset bc he lacks control. His control issues manifest in anger. The woman is in pain and hates herself despite her beauty. So its easier for this pain to be projected on you at the table.

That would be my take on the situation. Easier said then done but you are better than these people and I would try not to surround yourself with negative energy!
