Dear Julian, people's reactions towards you show their reaction towards themselves. It is their suppressed feelings. They vent in a place where they can afford. They might know that you would not harm them.

You might want to maintain a boundary with abusive people. Because self love is paramount. We can not expect others to take care of us, when we ignore it.
