Why are people like this?

I matched with a cute guy on a dating app, then got my appendix removed in an emergency operation and didn’t have the energy nor motivation to open dating apps for three days. When I opened it again, I saw the guy’s message: ‘funny to be ignored by an ugly one’

I then proceeded to tell him that I still am in the hospital after an operation, and why he matched me if he doesn’t find me attractive. He waited until he saw my reply and then unmatched.

I’m no Victoria’s Secret model, but I really don’t consider myself to be ugly and do a lot for my appearance and sport-wise to stay fit. This is really messing with my self esteem which I’ve always struggled with ever since being in (and thankfully getting out of) a mentally and physically abusive relationship during which I’ve constantly been told I should be happy anyone wants me at all. I thought I was over all that and confident enough in myself to believe I’m worthy of affection. I’ve been crying for an hour now.
