There are some situations in which you could address or express something either through writing or discussion. But you have to stop to think about the nature of things, like if response would be worth it, positive or negative, etc. Also, you have to protect what's actually a part of your world. There is so much on the outside to affect it poorly, directly or indirectly, so why contribute to that yourself? If I am bothered or worried about something that I rationally shouldn't be, I try to remember to ask myself why I feel the way I do. If I can answer that, and honestly, I then try to decide if there is something I can do about it that is either positive, useful, or necessary. If the answer is no, then I know this is a particular thing I have to let go. If it involves other people to a great degree, I remember that everyone involved in any given situation knows the truth of the matter, and that should be what matters most. I remember growing up having the opportunity to verbally battle people in situations but had no desire to, because I somehow understood then that people can say and do all sorts of things to make themselves or a situation appear a certain way to others. And I comprehended that a person loses by default if what is important to them is how others see them or their situation. If it isn't a matter of justice, rights, or a dire need to understand one another in family/work/personal relationships, it can often be simply acknowledged and released. That is something I grasped long ago but can forget these days. We can falter in placing our energy where it would be best used, and that is completely understandable. Overall, what others think and feel (usually with a partial picture or understanding) doesn't bring us inner peace. Or better yet, as the saying goes, what one person eats doesn't make the next person shit. The other side of the coin should be acknowledged as well: in everyday situations, what others think/do/say also does not bring us instability, destruction, etc. Besides, people rarely are honest about that ball of shame, hurt, anger, loneliness, and vulnerability that lies inside. The ball that some do everything in their power to disguise as strength, happiness, and maybe even indifference. So although looks, opinions, etc may make you uncomfortable, upset, whatever - you're not solo in the situation. The other person clearly has issues. Whether if it comes to randoms, people you once knew, or those you only sort of deal with, let others figure out why they react a certain way to things that you are not or are no longer a part of. Focus on growing and nourishing your life that they in turn are no longer or never were a part of.
