If we have built our social circle correctly, then we do not have to deal with rudeness and unpleasant behavior in the circle of loved ones.

However, it is impossible to isolate oneself from society.

Sometimes a good mood can be ruined by an ordinary passerby who decides to make an unfounded remark or comment on your appearance.
