True but sometimes when you’re forced to interact with someone you’d prefer not to (due to their previous actions), you end up a little surprised. People change over time and I can vouch for this fact. A guy I thought was a total asshole at school, went on to become one of my best friends in uni.

You’re right, sometimes forced proximity gives you insight into a person that you had previously written off. But if interaction is not forced then there are fewer opportunities to change your mind/opinion about a person.

I usually suck at confrontations, so I will do my best to avoid that person. But if I have no choice and meet said person and they say something really offensive, I will just let them know that, and question them in a way to make them feel like crap.

I’m not a fan of confrontations either and I too try to avoid them, but every once in while, avoidance of the person and the issue gives the other person license to be even more ridiculous and they deserve to be called out for their offensive actions.
