A lot of people have told me that I’m good with people, that I read people well, that I have a “high EQ.” I’ve been trying to figure out what that is, and this feels like kind of an important piece, since this was a relatively novel situation for me & I still knew what to do
And maybe he would’ve let me out without incident regardless of what I’d said. Or maybe I *should* have been much more terrified, and the fact that nothing bad happened was luck of the draw. I don’t know!
I’ve had interactions like that with Not Okay people on BART, and it seems like no matter what someone is going through, they respond relatively well to having their humanity implicitly recognized.
This seems like kind of a cop out. I didn’t know nor care to know this guy or even just his name, and I don’t feel bad about that. At all. He’s obviously human and that does not really inform whether he’s someone I should fear, feel sorry for, think about, etc.
There’s a reason people are wary of psychosis...
I think you’re just wonderful. Good luck making sense of why that is. 
I think you handled it just fine. It really is impossible to say what the “right move” is. You may have reduced your chances of an incident by your reaction to the situation, or as you said maybe there wasn’t a situation to begin with.
Emotions are contagious, if you panicked or acted frantically, it may have ignited his emotions as well. There is no one-size-fits-all method to handle it and you probably were reading the environment in real time and applying what you felt was the best course of action.
Just coz the lion ain’t hungry don’t mean he won’t eat ya when he is.
