I Was Turned Away

I called Samaritans, feeling quite lonely and thought I'd have a chat, unwind and get some stuff off my chest while I knitted. I said to the guy "Hiya, I'd just like to get some stuff off my chest while I knit, I promise I won't be much of a bother!" Then I was met with "You don't call Samaritans while knitting, goodbye." Then he hung up.The next guy was obviously better, although it sounded similar to the first so I didn't bring up the knitting thing. Got the stuff off my chest, was feeling better and then talked about my aspirations to work in a plant shop and be a little assistant because I found it calming. I was then at that point called "so naive to think that others will be calm in the shop" and "a hippie", then at one point I mentioned the prices of the plants and he mentioned that I "think the people with all the lovely money are going to be the nicest" then called me "classist". He was talking down to me and called me condescending. I live in a very poor city, people typically cannot afford the prices of the plant shop I'd like to work at which makes the shop very quiet and calm which is why I want to work there. Not because I'm condescending and classist and naive. I felt quite hurt after the call.
