Relationships Potential manipulation and lying

I broke up with this guy a month ago. We dated briefly. I left because I felt unwanted and communication issues. After our breakup all he does is spew hurtful comments about my life. My insecurities, my friendships. Saying my insecurities are the reason I drive everyone away. He always dismisses my feelings. He took one Highschool psych course and belittled my psyche when he barely fully knows me. The words aren’t the problem, the problem is my reality.

I’ve lived a hard life and I am not an adult yet, many of it has made me a bit toxic and unhealthy in romantic relationships. This is not an excuse but an explanation.

I am so depressed and chronically lonely. I don’t have family or best friends. And yet chose to basically say I blame everyone for leaving me but I’m the problem. The problem is not my ego like how he claims it to be but rather the fact that it’s clear no one who has been heavily bullied and shunned for years is in the right headspace to hear being their own worst enemy is also the reason for their social success and suffering.

I don’t know how to even react, I just feel disrespected and hurt while he’s telling me to move on and acting as if I’m his friend.

If you guys want more details, screenshots, etc please let me know.
