You have to continue interacting with someone who is rude whenever you see them: What do you do?

Generally when someone is rude to me, I confront or avoid them. I can't do either of these things with,this person.

Thoughts/advice?

Thanks!

Behave as if they are someone you barely know. You be yourself. Be as you would with a stranger. Don't expend extra energy, but be polite.

@VioletShadows that makes sense. I guess I am taking it a bit personally. Maybe being more "survival" minded is wise. Thanks.

@YourBuddyRandall They win when they stress you, and you can't be yourself. Be polite and don't react when they are rude, and they will be the ones that look bad.
