The main thing for me is to remember it’s not personal. When a stranger treats me as a potential threat, it is not an insult to my character.

Being treated as a threat by someone who knows my character, is an insult to my character.

But when a stranger models me as a stranger, it’s not personal at all. It’s not about me. Not a reflection of who I am.
