What else would we do? Talking to people involves, at the very least, the occasional miscommunication about expectations.
Option A: Solitude. Removal of the self from situations of cruelty, materialism, selfishness, apathy, and manipulation. Peace and quiet to live without facing negatives at every turn, in the worst-case scenarios overwhelming the positives and causing an individual to withdraw emotionally, mentally, or spiritually.
Option B: Socializing. Repeatedly exposing oneself to failure and every kind of cruelty imaginable (and many not, until you've encountered them) as a form of gambling. Hope that you win big and can appeal to majority tastes to reap the benefits, or find a few people who like you as you are and treat you with respect.
Some people are born blessed and can easily live a life of B using their natural traits. Others aren't. Some are strong enough to pack up their self-respect, move to a little mountain cabin in their soul, and live option A. Some aren't.
