Some side-work I do has me dealing with people a bunch, and for as much as we all complain about each other, at least in brief moments my experiences with others have been okay, pleasant even.

Of course, despite that, I can't shake the idiosyncratic impulse to avoid people much of the time, but regardless. As a bonus: most of those I'm encountering are total strangers to boot, so it's not even a matter of familiarity.

Not much more of a point to this post than that, really. Thought we could use a little more upbeat stuff around here.

Most people are just like us, trying to make their way through the world. The number of people who are actually actively assholes is fairly small but they tend to have an outsized effect on our day when we encounter them.
