Mostly, when someone disses you they are covering for there own insecurities, a bit like bullying. They feel good because they have shunned someone and yet the opposite of what they said will often be the case.
I think you're a fun guy with a wicked sense of humour. You also have enviable computer/design skills.
Advice to you? push like mad in your career and NEVER give up on your goal or dream in life. Change jobs if you need too, the more companies you work at the better your experience.
If I've learnt one think in the workplace it is to rise above all the crap and walk, talk and act like a pro (but never talk like the company ass hole who read, and understood, the job description fully).
Looking back, I hated my 20's. The girlfriend thing, the job thing, the somewhere to live thing, I don't envy anyone in this position. Now I'm in my thirties I am settled and quite self assured, I make a decision and stick to it, in fact people often take my advice on things. I've seen and been through a whole lot of stuff and it's been a good life lesson I reckon.
Don't beat yourself up here Nizzer, if someone's had a go who you don't know very well (and they don't know you very well) then f*ck 'em they're not worth a toss. Do you think he/she will be worried about what they said to you? no, they won't.
In America they have a lovely saying called "don't get mad, get even" (in a clever way you understand, not a vindictive way as this would make you just as bad as them). One of the best ways to hurt someone like that is to succeed when they expect the opposite.
cos you get to a point where you are settled enough with yourself(if not with someone else as well) where you just dont give a sh*t, i'm 42 now OMG an never really cared what people other than close family thought.
