I am 28 years old currently jobless and working in cracking a permanent job exam that has the potential to make me settle. I often come across people who are either oversmart, needlessly rude and mocking for no valid reason.

Imagine a smug face on a dekivery driver who can't read a map and mocks you instead. It's as if trying to live a normal life and being empathetic always has some kind of penalty. I have realised quite late but I am not able to set boundaries with people and I am actually scared to confront them too. Irony is I am not weak at all in any way physically to be intimidated by these people but mentally when I am being mocked or questioned, my eyes get teary and my voice cracks. How do I change it?

I am really starting to think that some people are genuine Npcs walking through life like as if their actions don't have meaning.

- They will ask for help, but won't even pick up the call when you need them

- severely overestimate their opinion's worth on matters they don't know anything about.

- oblivious af

- insensitive

-easily believe everything they see online

-opinions are based on current narrative trends.

- worst example of human beings but still sorrounded by people

What do you think? How do you deal with them?

I get really anxious around stupid and oblivious people. I sometimes get jealous that these people use their weaponised incompetence to get all their work done. Somehow, the one who is responsible around them is always me and I have suffered a lot lately because of such people (they are my parents). They have advise for everything but I have never seen them take action against their own stupidity.

Plus whenever thry spot me on a good mood, they will either handover a job or try to demean me.

How to deal with such people?

I ordered medicine (doctor prescribed heart medicine along with supportive medicine costing 12525). On the first day he called at 4:51 pm and wasn't available to pick the call. No call next day and a day later he calls for a second and hung up and I am getting update that customer not available. I called him back and he behaved very rudely saying my address was wrong although it has been delivered earlier with the same address. I checked in delhivery too and it is pinpointed to my location.

I have recordings of the conversation where he abused and to be fair in the first phone call when he was talking rudely I didn't hold back either but all the rest calls is recorded well and he is clearly saying that he won't attempt delivery and I must come to the office to take the parcel. I send someone else to pick the parcel, I didn't wanna satisfy his ego either.

The thing is same delivery executive is assigned today and this time parcel is cod and I have already raised three tickets regarding his previous behaviour and waiting for callback from delhivery customer support team. I have complained against him in consumer affairs.

What else can I do?

Quite new to being a stoic and one thing I struggle with is ego. Yesterday I confronted an employee who was gaslighting and provocative and I used an abusive word on phone. Then he called back and there was back and forth. I have to confront that person again eventually and thinking about is making me anxious. How do I deal with such people?

I am a beginner runner and velocity nitro 2 shoes are chaffing my right toe. Also it's cushioning isn't that suitable for long miles as I have noticed. I have not been a regular runner. Max I do is 7kms every 3 days.

I am size 7.5 and need a comfortable running shoes that can keep me comfortable and not compromise that much on energy return.
