Are there alternatives to therapy

What are coping skills and what are ways you deal with the problems in the world. We all live in the world and we can't control how people respond there's people who lash out have displacement anger sometimes people who are angry there looks, words can be painful. If someone treats you badly how can you deal with the hurt the pain they inflicted.

If youre living with someone who is abusive, you must first and foremost remove yourself from that environment. If it's your friend or family who mistreats you, set firm boundaries or distance as needed. For the population in general, this may sound overly simplistic, but try to remind yourself that this is their problem, not yours. The other person is coming from a place of hurt, trauma, lack of coping etc, the world is difficult especially right now, and you happen to be in the presence of this person as you witness their inner pain. It's coming out as yuckiness directed at you, but the yuckiness being there in the first place has nothing to do with you, it manifested from their life outside of you. No it doesnt excuse their behavior, but it can help you take it less personally and move on. It's best to not even engage and fuel the fire, just walk away and focus on positive people and giving/random acts of kindness to offset that negative energy/experience.

Another point with dealing with pain/betrayal is the same. Example, my ex cheated on me. We were about to get engaged and I was devastated. Now I dont look at it as he cheated "on me" I look at it as he cheated because hes a cheater, I just happened to be the one with him so it happened to me, if it was someone else it wouldve been her, but he didnt actually do this horrible thing 'to me', it doesnt reflect me or my value, hes just a selfish a-hole and luckily hes now out of my life.
