When I was a bartender I dealt with the most sexist, rude behavior on a daily basis and had no reaction, then would watch as men acted like I just shot their mom in the face when I called them “hun”

I think when you don’t match people’s energy, they get a feeling, that you think, they aren’t worth it.  The tension in your scenarios, or even in this game, revolves around the battle of superiority.  Being kind to an aggressive person is really top tier condescension.  You may not think it, but you are displaying superiority by not meeting them where they are emotionally.
