It helps to realize that most of the people who are aggressive and mean are actually people who are really hurting inside and are striking out due to their own hurt.

So true!! That’s why you gotta love on them despite how they receive you. Being kind to them and understanding their perspective disarms them. Their pain/hurt is no longer a weapon.
It also doesn’t give them an excuse to mistreat you. Reading body language and acknowledging social cues is a great way to protect both parties.
