how should you react to someone who is reluctant to interact with you

There was a user here on SW who had that experience at work with a co-worker. She felt that her friendliness toward the co-worker's boyfriend had been misunderstood, so she went out of her way to be friendly toward this woman. It took a lot of work, but now they are casual friends!

I understand that you have a lot of trouble behaving in a friendly way, and that you get angry very easily, so perhaps this person senses those elements of your personality, and wants to protect themselves.

I would try to think of how this isn't personal, it's obviously something being triggered within them from their past .. unless I am being a jackass of course! If I manage to stick on to that perception that it has nothing to do with me and it has all to do with them... It is easier to steer my attention towards myself and something else or someone else.
There are some times that these people hold important pivotal positions especially in the workplace or family.. in this situation good luck🤞🏼

I wouldn't worry about it. If you aren't worthy of their time, then they're not worthy of yours.

Perhaps they are lacking something in themselves.

i sometimes do that because the person gives me bad vibes,i may be giving them bad vibes,i move on
