for me i always try to be nice to everyone, yes, i do believe that if you are good to others, others will be good to you.

but it doesn't always go that way, there are always encounters and interactions with rude, mean, inconsiderate people.

you can try to avoid it, you can try to be safe and protect yourself from it, but in the end you will still have to go through it.

it gets frustrating because wouldn't it be great if the world treats you as nicely as you treat it?

it really triggers me though, i ruminate over revenge, i obsess with anger and rage.

fellow OHers how do you cope? what do you do when you face experiences like these?

One Psychologist unveiled this for me, for life: ask the person being agressive to you how is her/his day, if everything is ok; it disarm them, let them talk/bleed, works everytime....but if for some reason it don't work i'll treat them with the most upmost cold distant respect, like you would do with an snake
