I really had a feeling that each one of those situations would go downhill at some point, but I crossed my fingers that it wouldn't all be at the same time. I'm sorry for all of that, but you handled all of it wonderfully. You stood your ground and dealt with things on your terms. I grinned really wide about what you said to the guy who is trying to get yet another female to bail him out of his problems. Foolish, foolish player - he's gonna be thinking about this for a bit, but then he'll move on to a pretty thing to take his mind off of his "woes". Still, I bet you gave him a couple of sleepless nights of introspection. Which I'm sure e needed. I feel the worst about your friend but your words there made sense too. I feel so much stronger since I stopped wondering why certain people didn't care. It also allows room for people who do give a hoot about you to move in (not to mention creative juices).
Maybe it's better that it all happened at once, perhaps having your dander all worked up gave you the strength to tell them all off. Believe it or not, sometimes people REALLY need to be told off. One of those folks, once they get over it (if they even need to - I wonder how much they truly liked YOU) may very well thank you.
Give Matt a call if only to cheer yourself up. Spend time with some favorite things of your childhood; get in touch with your inner soul. You're going to be fine. After all, these were other people's stupidities not your own. Yer a good nut.
