Stop being so paranoid. Not everyone is out to get you, they're just busy. Hanlon’s Razor is a reminder that not everyone is plotting against you so it’s worth giving people who annoy you the benefit of the doubt. NOT MALICE, HUMANS.  Hanlon’s Razor states: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by neglect, ignorance or incompetence. Many quotes of this model focus on ‘stupidity’, which it could be argued gives it an arrogant twist — I find the broader interpretation more useful. When we are slighted or ignored, it’s all too easy to assume malicious intent, all the while forgetting how many times we have treated others in a similar way. In reality, people are as neglectful, distracted, tired, misunderstanding, and incompetent as us. It is rarely the case that they are malicious.   FROM OCCAM'S RAZOR.  Hanlon’s Razor can be considered to be Occam's razor applied to social relationships, use it to develop an objective and rational approach that can interrupt anger at a perceived affront. In doing so, it can help you to be less judgmental and reactive as you maintain openness and curiosity to develop better relationships.
