Neither your nor my subjective experience is definitive or going to apply to everyone. But it’s worth questioning whether the problem lays with them or can be partly attributed to the perception people have of them.
I know that for myself at least, it’s pretty easy to avoid uncomfortable situations by just engaging with them, being as kind as possible, and listening when that’s clearly what they’re looking for.
