I have a question bobbing around in my head today. Why is it when 2 different people do the exact same thing, you have a totally different reaction?
Example: Person A eats off your plate, you smile and go on. Maybe even taste theirs.
Person B eats off your plate and you want to rip their head off or at the very least, get an IV of antibiotics to get rid of their germs.
Does the way we feel about people ( on a personal level) make that much of a difference in how we react to seemingly innocent things?
Why are we so quick to let it go from certain people, but fester, stew and boil over another? They've done the same thing, but the reaction is SO opposite.
How do you get past personal feelings and react objectively?
And, no, I am not really talking about eating off someones plate, just using it as an example.
Any thoughts?

There must be a good story about what prompted you to be thinking about this! My opinion - you can't react objectively. Even if you can cover up your feelings in front of the person, they do tend to fester in your mind. Hopefully someone wiser will comment here with some advice for both of us.
