Train people
Simply put, you need to train people how to treat you. Yes there are assholes in this world (I am one of them) maybe you are too. However at the end of the day most individuals won't cross you if you set a standard. I'd like to credit Steve the Dean Williams an intelligent online mentor who speaks of this.
Be thorough as well, if you tell someone you're a vegan and they keep bring pork chops to your front door, you might have to cut them out your life. (Or call the cops). I know it's a funky example but you get the gist.
A lot of this simply comes from two vessels, knowing yourself and loving yourself. When you know and love yourself, it's very difficult to allow ill will to float idly into your life.
This may be easier for certain people than others especially with today's media telling us how we should act. For that reason I say turn off that television (Unless basketball is on because well, who doesn't love hoops) and train people. Mold your life so that you don't have to walk on eggshells or put up with bullshit from people who don't deserve your time .
GET REAL
until next time,

When all else fails, just drop a truth bomb on them:
They'll all rush in trying to shame you, then you get the opportunity to go above and beyond. Its win-win. By saying the worst thing you could possibly think of, it can only get better. You can't always blame yourself (you can't always blame other people either).
EXACTLY, thats all there is too it.
