wonder whether people who are aggressive, interpersonally, realize they're basically disincentivizing people who are more relaxed from interacting with them think there are short term wins from aggression but my hunch is the long term costs are substantial and cumulative

in my experience there's a class of people who take advantage of many people's reluctance to defend boundaries because it makes them feel uncomfortably rude & aggressive, and it's easier to overlook the offense - you can tell yourself, a lot, that you're doing it just this once

so in a sense, rude people can get away with being rude to non-rude people because telling rude people to fuck off because they're rude *feels rude*.
