Is it normal to be snubbed because of my job?
I had recently met someone and we were getting along really well. We were talking when he asked me what I did for a living. He said he was a lecturer in a well known university. Then I told him that I worked as a florist. I explained that even though it wasn't an important job it was a job I loved. He went a little quiet after that, then we said goodbye and hung up. Since then I haven't heard from him and I feel like crap. Its obvious why he hasn't been in touch because everything was ok before the job thing came up. I love my job but it isn't my identity. I know that he's shallow and up his own arse but I feel humiliated even though I did nothing wrong.
