It's nice to be nice to the nice, but it's also nice to be a cunt to the cunts. Be a mirror and reflect their attitude back at them.
Be kind as a starting point, but don't force yourself to be kind if they're not kind back. Tit-for-tat game strategy
But starting out with kindness is crucial. As well as being kind again if they start being kind. You must give people the benefit of the doubt
It's no coincidence that this game theory strategy is highly effective in practice. You could even say that this is the foundation of human society and success
