He does not believe the other suiter’s when they say he might be a god. Antinous continues to treat Odysseus like a slob and throws a chair at Odysseus.
“what evil blew in this pest?; Antinous hit me for being driven on by hunger.” (Homer 1210-1242)
The quote above shows that Antinous treats Odysseus by the way he looks, not the way he acts or what his personality is.
Eurymachus treats Odysseus horribly at first, but after Odysseus shoots Antinous, he tries to bribe him with riches and food to show he still has honor for Odysseus as the king.
“Antinous was the ringleader; we’ll make restitution of wine and meat consumed, and add, each one, a tithe of of twenty oxen with gifts of bronze and gold to warm your heart. Meanwhile we cannot blame you for your anger.” (Homer lines 1453-1463)

He had a hard time coming out of the house, unless it was to go to the bar. Jesse achieved help with a Veterans Bestfriend. The dog that helped him with his PTSD, helped him control his anger and control his episodes when people approached him. “I take her to school with me now and she usually sits in front of me and when someone walks behind me she just nudges me and I know someone is coming up behind me. I’m not gonna you know, flip out when somebody like says hi or something and startles me.”
