Do microaggressions in your personal life or your professional one cause more of an emotional punch?

Professional for sure because it’s frowned upon to respond to them with the same level of veracity.

Personal, because I know the people usually or they’re like friends of my friends and then I have to question everyone around me.

Professionally, it’s easier, because I just don’t care about my coworkers and it’s never NOT come from a coworker that didn’t already have issues with me. Usually the micro aggression there is just confirmation that nothing I could have done would have changed the issues, they were baked in. And then I can take the kid gloves off.
