This. Why does the person feel the need to be a total asshole and tell you that? If I find someone repulsive, I do not generally feel compelled to tell the person.
I can see doing something like that if the person is hitting on you and does not want to take "no" for an answer. Then telling the person that they are repulsive may be warranted. But not without something like that that provokes the insult.
