Sorry to hear about your bad experiences. I agree that Bali is not for everyone. A prerequisite is tolerance (the more often you go, the easier this becomes), patience, and a sense of humor. I must admit that the attitude of street and beach sellers can be infuriating. Research and other travelers experiences can be of great help. In this respect the BTF is a gold mine of up to date information.
