I know how dissapointing & frustrating other peoples overt rudness & insensitivity can be.... my sisters husband hasnt even aknowleged my existense in 14 years, still holding the judgements he made on me when i was 15, can you imagine how much energy that takes for him?

The simple truth I have learnt though is that you cant expect/demand/rely upon 'certain behaviours' (from others) just because you personally deem them to be important to you. Avoid the internal dissapointment & be happy that you are such a person who knows how to deal with others well & show a common humanity. If someone else really lacks the ability to do that then you just have to feel so sorry for them.... what a struggle it must be for them?

Stay secure & happy in the knowlege that you are a really good person
