I think I understand. I may not know exactly what you're talking about, but I live in a small village. I occasionally have to go to a large city to shop. People there seem not to care about being polite or accommodating others in aisles in stores, etc. They'll take up a whole aisle and not bother to move at all when someone else is trying to get down the same aisle. Or if it's really busy, some people just push you out of the way! I have NO patience for that.

Now I know this is petty compared to what YOU'RE going thru, but it's somewhat related. I don't think I could live in a very densely populated city like Tokyo! It would drive me insane. From what you say, I think you're handling things quite well!

I do know what you must feel inside tho -- it builds up in your mind until you want to scream! Or you want to grab someone and throttle them.

I wish you the very best! Take deep breaths -- people aren't going to change, that's for sure. The only thing you can do is try to calm yourself and that's not easy under the circumstances. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
