May I counter this with positives that people have done for me? Like returning my purse to the store when I left it in the grocery cart and drove away. Or how about when I lost my wallet full of money at a K Mart and someone returned it to the service desk unharmed? Or the people who stop and help when I get a flat tire or Embarrassing, ran out of gas. Those people were very rude indeed and it was also illegal so I might have just told them I was going to the management and lodging a complaint.

You are a kind person. A great way to counter these horrible feelings we get when we are treated like crap is to reach out and be kind to others. Also smiling helps us even if we don't feel like it.

You seem to have many friends here.
