Maybe it's not so unusual. When someone is awful to me, I do get angry with them, but I don't feel surprised by it.

Even though my assumptions that people will be untrustworthy and cruel have often been incorrect... by assuming that's the norm, maybe that resignation is the same as not caring even if I do defend myself.

[maybe people like that should be at least treated with indignity for doing something worse than others do.]
