The exchange rate of people who are not self aware



When you are dealing with people who are not self aware the exchange rate is as follows:

-If they give you a penny they interpret it as though they gave you a million dollars.
-If you give them a million dollars they interpret it as though you gave them a penny.

It also works with cruelty:

-If they steal a million dollars from you, they interpret it as though they stole a penny.
-If you steal a penny from them, they interpret it as though you stole a million dollars.

This does not apply only  to money. They could kill your whole family and treat it like it was a minor misdeed. You could spill a glass of orange juice on their carpet and they would treat it like it was a tremendous injustice. They could pay you a minor compliment and treat it like they saved your life. You could save their life and they would treat it like it was nothing special.

The solution is to never do “business” with these people.
