Interactions Today: Are We Seeking Confrontation?

Interactions with other people can be tricky. Throughout our day we interact with a number of different people and, for the most part, the interactions are great. Or at least not bad. Sometimes, however, we do have bad interactions. Maybe someone made a comment that left you infuriated the rest of the day, or slighted you in some regard and now you can't stop thinking about it. There are bad people in the world. Obviously. But can we write someone off as a bad actor based off one interaction? One could argue it depends on the interaction. What is interpreted as a microaggression might have just been someone being unconsciously curt because they're having an off day. We've all been there. Whereas someone yelling hateful things at you may very well indicate they aren't a good person and you should avoid contact with them.
