It’s probably not about you
Let’s say you’re checking out at the grocery store, and the clerk is dismissive and short with you. Here are the possibilities: They hate their low-paying job and the attendant bullshit.They had an ugly fight with their significant other this morning and are stewing about that.They’re developing strep throat.They are a sour person generally.They dislike you personally and are out to get you, even though they just set eyes on you and you’ve said nothing to them yet. Now. Of those possibilities, which is the likeliest? But which one does your mind jump to? Usually, when people are being dicks, it’s not about you; it’s about them. Think about the last time you were rude or dismissive to a stranger. It’s probably because something else bad was happening and you were in a foul mood. And such is the case with others, too. It’s more than likely that either something shitty is going on in their life, or they’re just bad, mean people.
