I think when getting along with other people, its perfectly natural (and entirely inevitable) that you're going to bump elbows with others and treating confrontation/discomfort with a kneejerk "well we have to beef now and turn this small miscommunication/moment of friction into a Whole Thing" reaction, instead of doing your best to give your fellow people the benefit of the doubt, even if you got off on the wrong foot is really key. and in fact an essential skill for any grown adult. especially when operating within and without other communities or cultures

#not trying to be a hot take or anything just a thought #i hope this isnt just coming off as 'why cant we alll just get allonnng' i dont mean it that way per se #I just think especially on the internet people resort way too quickly to #'well you clearly suck entirely and im no longer interested in your perspective'#(disclaimer im not talking abt giving any grace to hate groups thats not what this is abt)#i mean just innocent moments of miscommunication/social clumsiness/cultural clash
