I'm sorry you have to put up with this
I notice daily a numerous amount of different negative behaviours in the people I know. That's why I don't feel safe around others and prefer to be alone. I don't understand how or why they think it's ok for them to behave like that, but I guess they have never reflected upon it: they just do what they like, regardless of others' feelings. They have probably never asked themselves whether this is acceptable or not.
I don't think "crossing over to the other side" is the solution. It's definitely not the appropriate way to cope. It would make things a whole lot easier (to act like everything's just a game, not to worry about hurting others), but I would never do it, knowing what it feels like when this kind of behaviour is directed to me.
I hope I understood correctly what you meant and didn't make a fool of myself rambling about something completely off topic
