Very true.

The few times someone has reacted very negatively towards me, I usually go, "Are you okay?" Because whatever I said or did wouldn't warrant such a reaction, so it must have something to do with them. Whatever's coming out of them speaks to what's inside of them, NOT what's inside of me.

I check myself and go in the direction I want to go, which is personal growth and what is good. So, if someone takes me differently, that's usually their misunderstanding or misconceptions, or issues, raring their heads.
