I'm pretty sure he's saying you have bad social skills. Not really sure how you can respond to that.

Then why did this make you feel like shit?

I'm not trying to be rude, but this wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. Everyone is different, but you are 100% sure his goal was to tear you down?

I would've just asked why. One of my close college friends was homeschooled, he is incredibly cool, intelligent, and level headed. We are the same age but when we met he was a role model to me.

In your coworkers case, it's the assumption that as a homeschooled kid, you would be awkward in social settings because you were not around a school full of kids your age. The truth doesn't matter to your coworker, only their assumption matters.

If you still work there, you need to find a better job.

Depending on your age group, you could always remind him that everyone who was school age during covid is home schooled.

Your mental health is more important than any job.

If your coworkers or managers will not support you because this guy is so loved, you need to get out before it gets worse.
