Maybe they are insecure, or in pain, or maybe they even suffered some type of abuse in their lifetime, and you can see why they are the waythey are.

Refuse to allow it to continue, for everyone’s sake.

63. Mercy is to care, and care very deeply about one another. It is to care to the point where we are prepared to be involved with the sufferings and adversities of others. It implies that I am prepared to put myself in the other person’s place. It means that I shall try to really understand why they behave as they do, even though it injures me. It is a willingness to walk a mile in the other man’s moccasins before I criticize his conduct. It is the extension of good will, help, forgiveness, compassion and kindness to one who may not seem to deserve it.
