Looking for a conflict

How do you deal with someone who always seems to be looking for a conflict?

For ex/ they can take a perfectly reasonable, innocent statement and look for problems with it.

Or, they take a look or silence to mean something more than what it is.

I have a very jokey way of saying the hard truths. I laugh away people trying to look for conflict.

I just minimize contact and conversation with these types of people altogether.

^ agree with the posts above.

I wouldn't spend my time even worrying about it, but rather remove myself from their company or just have as minimal conversations with them if they are a person you can't simply avoid.

People like that are just asking for attention and the best thing to do is just to ignore them
