To expand on this:
We're all living in cities (most of us are), everyone's a stranger, reactions are based on split-second impressions before people even know you. Not personal.
If some girl screws you over or breaks your heart, trust that she follows the same patterns with other men she dates too. Feels personal; but not personal.
Some grifter screws you out of your money or possessions; feels personal; not personal. He does the same thing to everyone... another sucker's born every minute, he says.
Some gal goes after your reputation to improve hers; feels personal, not personal. She'd screw over anyone she saw a similar opportunity to elevate herself over in the same way.
People often take things as a sign that they are personally inadequate, when the case is more they just need to shore up the impression they make, screen the people the let into their lives better, or hone their bullshit detectors.
What someone does to you, he does to other people too. It's not personal, it's simply what this other person does.
